It is fun celebrating with people to whom the whole idea is new. You can see the ideas slowly giving people hope that there are better ways to live, and these ways are accesible to them.
We keep praying that God will forgive sins, give more chances, overlook stuff. He did this for all of us, and He continues to do this for all of us. It is fun and satisfying when we can get past ourselves to ask God to do this for others who He places around us. Sometimes we can watch their lives change for the better. God is working in others, and using us as part of the process. How great is God’s plan?
