July 29 Devotion

Recently, I have had a variety of conversations with many different people. One conversation was about the struggles that a friend of mine has been going through for the past few years. Trying to determine his next step. Then the next was with someone in a very similar situation. Been going through some struggles. Also trying to figure out his next step. There were a few more very similar types of conversations. With other people that are struggling. All trying to figure out their next step. Then there were those conversations with people that are doing good work. Having difficulties. But not struggling. Simply going day by day. Doing God’s work. Also working on their next step. 

Now…here is what is awesome about every conversation that I had. No matter what it is we talked about. No matter what it is that they are facing. The struggles. The difficulties. The successes. The next step. No matter what. Everyone of them talked about serving God. Following God‘s plan. No matter what! And that is awesome. That is very motivating and humbling. One of our volunteers sent me a message with a quote: “Your mission is to love, serve, and share the Hope of Jesus Christ. Your mission field is wherever you are.” 

Her message hit home. It really did. And I find it very fitting. It goes right along with every conversation that I had. No matter where we are, we can love. No matter where we are, we can serve. And no matter where we are, we can share the Hope of Jesus Christ. No matter where we are! God can use us in ways we can never imagine. Wherever we are. Even when we are trying to figure out our next step. Even when times seem difficult. God‘s grace can still be shown. So today, please remember your mission field is wherever you are right at this moment. Realize that and find a way to serve. Maybe with your family. Maybe with your friends. Maybe with your neighbors. Somebody at the store. Do what you can to show God‘s grace. No matter where you are.
