How exciting to announce a graduation!  How exciting to announce a promotion! How exciting to announce an engagement/or wedding date! How exciting to share a pending birth of a baby! (As you read this suggested list, can’t you feel yourself already smiling?) Good news is wonderful to give and receive.

Jesus told his disciples: Mark 16:15, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” That verse was written by Mark and mentioned in other Gospels, but it is clearly meant for us, too. The early followers of Christ are not here to share the Good News.  It is clearly up to us, believing Christians, to share GOOD NEWS.

I just finished writing another book talk speech regarding the GOOD NEWS found in my book, The Small Town with a Big Heart. This book talk is entitled, The Good News.  Not only for my family, but many of you have good news happening in your lives right now.  Yes, I know the road of life can be filled with hazards, potholes and demons dancing in our way, but there is Good News. God NEVER leaves us.  We are NEVER alone. Deuteronomy 31:6 “Be strong. Take courage. Don’t be intimidated. Don’t give them a second thought because God, your God, is striding ahead of you. He’s right there with you. He won’t let you down; he won’t leave you.”

As a follower, share that GOOD NEWS. Maybe to a friend on social media. Maybe to your neighbor who is feeling down. Maybe in a birthday card.  You are able to easily drop a quick note, sharing the Good News of our dear Lord who loves each and every one of us unconditionally. God wants us to share…go ahead, do it!
