Today was my last day at my current survival job. I knew that this job would be ending because it was only a temporary thing, helping out in the front office of the company. Being that I was at the front desk, I needed to dress professionally—luckily, it only required business casual. But even though today was my very last day, it was also my first Friday working there. So…I didn’t realize that we could dress down and wear jeans on Friday.
When I got in the car this morning with my driving partner, she said, “Today is “jean day”…you can go back in and change if you want.” She went on to explain that she didn’t want to call and wake the boys up since we leave so early in the morning.
And that got me thinking…do we not tell people about Jesus and the salvation He brings because we’re afraid that we will wake someone up? If so, we have to change our thinking. We NEED to wake some people up. This news is too important to worry about how others “feel”; this news is too important to worry about offending someone. Tell them about the love of Jesus whether they like it or not…because there will come a time when it’s too late. When I stepped out that door this morning, it was too late—there was no turning back to change for “jean day”.
As great of a day as it would have been wearing jeans…it wouldn’t have even come close to what it will be like on the Day of the Lord. As saddened as I was to not get the news early enough for “jean day”, it pales in comparison to how those who don’t know Jesus will feel when He returns.
Don’t be afraid…wake them up!
