Ambassador Patsy!

In 2 Corinthians 5:20,
it says that we are all ambassadors 
for Christ, as if God were appealing through us.
I was just reading about 
Salma Hayek teaming up with Unicef 
to eradicate tentanus.
"Several years ago it was so hard to get
media attention for this,"
the Unicef spokesperson said,
"Enter Salma,
and here we suddenly had 
30 media outlets hanging on her
every word."

We don't need star power to be
ambassadors for Christ.
We just need to KNOW Him,
really KNOW Him!

Do we know that it is love that
He desires, not sacrifice?
That He prefers that we know Him
and have a relationship with Him
rather than fasting, and alms giving?
"Embedded in every work God does in our lives,
is an invitation to an intimate relationship
with His son." Word Among Us

If we get to know Christ,
our words and our lives will be so compelling,
that we would not need to be a popular actress
to be an ambassador for the One 
who calls us to be His very own! 

This message is so timely
because I found out about 
the 3:16 challenge on Facebook.

After Tim Tebow put John 3:16 on his eye black
during a national championship game, 
this bible verse was googled 94 million times!!!!
As ambassadors of Christ,
what creative thing can we do 
so people will want to know Christ more?

Every week I choose one wonderful visitor
who leaves a comment
to receive an ATC from me.
I know it takes so much time and effort
to leave a comment
and I appreciate it soooo much!

Sometimes I put on my best pajamas 
and join these great parties!

  2. Hi Patsy,

    I would have visited your blog much sooner, but the comment you left on mine got stuck in my spam folder so I didn't see it. So obviously you are super duper creative, judging from everything I see here. Bravo! I am so not, not in a crafty way.

    I wonder if you want to read the chapter in my Memoire I just posted on my blog because it's about God (my book is a coming-to-faith story and I post a chapter each Monday) and it's also about ... The Philippines!!! Well, amongst other things. It's here:
