Ok…last week at the emergency room, God showed me people he loves and who need him. Today he told me in my Random Book of Devotions to “Point People to Christ”. I think I see a pattern.
I don’t foresee worldwide recognition like Mother Teresa for my work with the poor, overlooked, and needy. God is not necessarily calling me to work with the underprivileged. But he very definitely wants me to see who he loves and to see who needs him. He wants me to see who Jesus died for.
God’s Son did not come to die for the churched. For the saints. He came to die for those who do not know him. Maybe they have never been exposed to him at all. They might look and act like me…but then again, they just might not.
God wants me to see….
The illegal alien
As someone The Creator loves.
He wants me to see
The Muslim
As someone he wants as his own.
The gang member…
The Father longs for him.
The ladies I work with…
They have good jobs,
Husbands,
Families,
And smiles on their faces,
But they don’t know Jesus.
It may be that it is my job to introduce them to a life with Jesus in it. To allow them to see God’s love for each of us through my life.
Lord, cause me to be aware of those around me who don’t know you. Cause me, Father to be very aware that you…The King…The Creator of All…that you want them, you love them. Lord, help me to not judge others. Help me to not be annoyed at their behavior or languages, of their differences. But Lord, teach me to love them through your eyes. Thank you, Father, for loving me and for dying for me.
