Do you have a large heart? - 2

 Again, in this part, we take a look at a man who had a large heart in the Bible. His name was Elisha. I would not be going into details of this story but you can read it up in 2 Kings 6:22-23. Elisha was uncommon and had a large heart. No wonder God gave him a distinguished place in human and divine history. The same awaits you as you seek work in the uncommon.
Sometimes, Heaven’s demands on us are weighty and somehow, you feel you will break under the load of such divine demands. But the word says, “This is the love of God, that we keep his commandments and his commandments are not grievous” (painful and killing) – 1 John 5:3. When the word says, “do good to them that hate you” it does not make sense. But you must remember that the ways of God are past finding out sometimes. He says, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are my ways your ways.” –Isaiah 55:8.
Why don’t you just sacrifice yourself at least once, to save other people’s lives? What is this suffering for Christ we talk about most times in Sunday school? Isn’t it all about having a large heart? Try as much as possible to suffer for Christ, no matter what it will cost you. You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. Never forget: living an uncommon life stimulates uncommon testimonies. Is your heart large?
