We always say that it takes a family to do what we do. It takes a family to battle veteran suicide. And we all have our roles. Whether you are one of our guides, volunteers, supporters, etc. We all have our roles. And each one of them is important. They help each other. That’s how we succeed. Helping each other as we serve God together.
The Great Commission calls for us to go out and make disciples. To go out and show God‘s grace to the world. Trying to show hope and a peace the only comes from Jesus. The Bible tells us that we are all part of one body. And that we belong to Jesus. Unfortunately, not everyone knows this or believes this. But it’s true. We belong to Jesus. And carrying out the mission requires us all. Because the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. And I think that is beautiful.
So maybe today is the day for you to find your role. Or at least start looking for it. Don’t let the great liar deceive you. Don’t let him convince you that you are not worthy. He will do all he can to bring you down and keep you from serving. And he is good at that. But remember this, as good as he is at what he does, our Lord and Savior is even better at what he does. His strength is greater. His love is bigger. His kingdom is forever. And even more amazing, the victory has already been declared. The cross did that for us. So as we celebrate the birth of Jesus, let’s remember we are all part of the same family, on the same mission, working towards the same goal. Eternity in heaven. Because…Jesus loves you. He loves me. He always has. He always will.
