This morning in our staff meeting we were exhorted to be good stewards of our sphere. We all have the ability to chose the state of the atmosphere that we carry with us. We can choose to make it a sphere of life, or one of death - and when people come into contact with us, they are affected by our choice. Do you know those people that after you've spent time with them, you just feel better? They carry life, joy and peace in the Holy Spirit. It's like you not only spent time with them, but with the jesus in them. And I'm sure that you also know those people who leave you feeling just as depressed and pessimistic as they are. As staff and interns in the Gateways ministry, we want to carry life in our atmospheres that will overflow into the lives of the students here, but this is not applicable in our context alone. What if your boss, spouse, teacher or checker at the grocery store had an encounter with the loving life of Jesus, simply by coming into contact with the atmosphere that you have fostered through worship and prayer? What if we started taking the Bible seriously and God at His Word? What if the world really was transformed by the unchanging love of a Beatitude styled life? What if all of our "what if's" started today?
