If we do this is will take us from a narrow and timid view of life to one that is bold and amazingly broad. It will involve us in many issues we would otherwise not even think about. It will enable us to meet people we would normally not interact with. It will invite us into fresh and new situations that otherwise we would never need to deal with. It will literally add fresh and vibrant life to our own daily life as we begin to be a part of fresh new challenges and all that the Lord is asking us to do around the world in His Name.

As a local church we need to also look through the window. Often a local church can become so involved in its own life and activities, events and issues, plans for the future and the daily care of the sheep. All of this is good but it is like looking in the mirror. We need to glance through the window and see the bigger picture and then be bold enough to enter in and become involved representing the Lord in many of the things we will see happening out there in His world. Only by doing so will the Kingdom continue to grow and lives changed by the power of the Gospel.

Let’s boldly look through the window and see where the Lord would lead us to become involved as we give to others the love, acceptance and forgiveness we have received from Him. There is a world waiting and we are called to go into that world and make disciples. Let’s be boldly about our Father’s business of seeking and saving the lost – and respond to His call to be bold in His Name.
