C.T. Studd was a great cricketer; his success and popularity were increasing. He planned to devote his life to that sport. However, he met the Lord Jesus Christ one day and bowed to Him as his Lord and Saviour. This changed his whole life’s plans. How could he give his life to sport, he asked himself, when there were millions who never heard the story of Jesus and His love?
And so for him the change eventually meant going to the heart of Africa where for many years he had the joy of leading numbers of natives to the Saviour.
If Christ has won your heart, He may not lead you to go to Africa, or to some foreign field; perhaps He wants you to stay right at home and there live and witness for Him.
“Return to thine own house, and show how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.” Luke 8:3939Return to thine own house, and show how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him. (Luke 8:39).
