But
how shall they ask Him to save them unless they believe in Him? And how can
they believe in Him if they have never heard about Him? And how can they hear
about Him unless someone tells them?
- Romans 10:14 (TLB)
What is something you really love?
Those who know me will tell you—I really love cats. And they aren’t wrong.
Now imagine a world where no one knows what a cat is.
For those of us who are cat lovers, life would feel a little emptier—no purrs, no meows, no furry companions curling up beside us. But if we had never known cats existed, would we even realize what we were missing?
What if someone told you about these wonderful creatures—how they bring comfort, joy, and a sense of companionship—but you didn’t believe them? Or worse, what if no one ever told you about them at all?
Now, go back and reread those sentences—only this time, replace “cat” with “Jesus.”
Over the years, people have asked me why I started writing my Daily Bread devotionals. Truthfully, there are days when I’ve wondered the same thing. Who would notice if I stopped posting or sending them out? Does it really make a difference?
But then I hear from someone who says, “That verse was exactly what I needed today,” and I’m reminded that sharing God’s Word matters deeply. Romans 10:14 tells us that people cannot believe in the One they have never heard about. How will they know about His love unless someone tells them?
If I don’t share, maybe someone misses hearing what their heart needed that day. I don’t want to be the reason someone doesn’t have the chance to know God’s love.
So I’ll keep writing. I’ll keep sharing. Because someone out there needs to hear—and maybe, through these small words, they’ll meet Jesus for the very first time.
