Our World Needs Believers to Become Followers

     I heard many people say that they believe that there is a God and a heaven. I wish that they were more than believers but also followers of Jesus. Our world can be a hard place to live and for some or even for the many who are working to survive. Their work can take up a lot of their time. I understand that we have so little time to spare and that we feel tired most of the time and that is why we let our worship of our God to fall short. However if we would take a good look around us, we can see our world is needing more than just believers it needs followers. Our world needs people who are making time for God in their busy schedules so to have time for service and for prayer. We need to make time so to say to the world that Jesus is the way and the truth and the life. 
     Our world is needing more followers who are living their lives by the teachings of Jesus and to grow in numbers so to lessen the darkness that is upon our world. Our world is becoming more violent and people are losing their hope. We need the teachings of Jesus about his love, forgiveness, compassion and kindness. The world needs to hear about Jesus's sacrifice that took away our sins and gave us a hope to live in his kingdom. There is good tidings to the world for the Lord has come and will come again. We need his followers to bring us this good news of God's Kingdom.
     Evil is strong upon our world but God is stronger and he will one day cleanse our world from evil and bring us a lasting peace and happiness. So I say, become more than a believer, become a follower and help other followers fight against the darkness that is within our world. Become strong in your faith and let the light of God guide your way.
