Jesus return is coming. What will I be found doing? I have not led any sheep to the Shepard this summer.
I have rejoiced in Christ victory over sin in my life, but I have not shared the message of hope with a lost soul.
I have enjoyed beautiful summer days and the creation of the one who sees my innermost ugliness and makes me new, but I have not seen the transformation of a heart turned to Christ for the first time.
We are in debt to those who have not heard. Who am I that He would call me out of this pit? Who am I that I keep it to myself not wanting to offend that pretty lady in the parking lot and that mom who already thinks I am too religious because I don't swear or let my kids play soccer during the hours of fellowship on Sundays?
Jesus paid it all and I won't even deposit my pride!
Today is a new day.
A new time. Jesus is coming on the horizon. Time goes by so fast. Our kids grow up in the blink of an eye. I am like dust coming from it and returning to it.
Today is a new day.
Father make bold your children to bring life to the dry bones we encounter. Help us understand that hurting people hurt people. Give us eyes to see and ears to hear the needs and brokenness around us. Fill us with your Spirit that we will speak your truth and life in love to those around us who desperately need the message of your salvation today. All for the glory to The One who sits on the throne.
Bring a lost sheep into the fold through me today Lord.
Who is Like God?
No One
