Isaiah 6:8
And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.”
I have been wearing this bracelet on my wrist and handing them out to people who I believe needs to know Christ for the past 30 days. But today was different, I thought to myself, what does this mean? Who will go? Here I am.....send me! Send me where?
Everyday we are sent. I am sent to work. My wife is sent food shopping. Our kids are sent to school. Some are sent to detention!!!! Others are sent to football practice, or soccer or any other sport. But why are we being sent? Because our parents say so? Because our coaches tell us too? Because life tells us what needs to be done? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Not in this house!
God specifically asked my family, "Will you go for me?" And we all COMMITTED to Him by saying, "HERE I AM, SEND ME! Send me out into this world to let others know about Jesus. To let others see the changes we have all made in our lives to follow Christ! And it is happening!!! I see it more know than ever!
I AM SENT to work everyday and everyone I encounter see a change in me. And if they ask what is different, I tell them......I am filled with the Holy Spirit. I am walking next to Jesus and I AM SENT here to tell you about him. Now I'm not the up in your face Jesus preacher but you will know that my life is all about Christ. You see it all over my office. You see it all over my house. You see it in ME!
Ty, Brayden, Lucas & Mya were asked if they will go and they agreed YES......SEND ME!!!!! Mya has more confidence in school. She is talking with Lew about starting a bible study at St John Vianney! SHE IS SENT!!!!!
Lucas prays to God before bed and listens to songs about God and isn't afraid to tell his friends that he scored that winning goal because he asked for God. He convinced his friends who were afraid to go on roller coasters to walk on with no fear and they did. He led them. Why? HE IS SENT!!!!!!
The other night I made a rule that we needed to pray before our family dinners. I started the other day. When I came home from work today everyone was at the dinner table and Brayden said it's my turn to pray! Why? HE IS SENT!!!!!!
Ty no longer listens to the TOP 40 that the world listens too. He has memorized almost every song we sing at church and opened his mind to new Christian artists and sings these songs everywhere he goes. No matter who is around! Why? HE IS SENT!!!!!
Kim sits with me and we talk about our life and how great it is with God leading the way. We read the bible sometimes together. She prays all the time. She goes to church, prayer group and has even thought about volunteering in the nursery at church! Why? SHE IS SENT!!!!!
Yes we have our normal activities to do on a daily basis but we are not sent there, we choose to do those things. We are SENT everywhere we go with one thing on our mind......To Know God and Make Him Known!!! AMEN??? I mean, isn't that what this blog is about anyway????
So I challenge all of you that read this post, I am asking you.....WILL YOU GO???? Will you go and share this blog to 1 friend? 5 friends? All you friends???? Who wants to be sent??????
Song of the day: Hello My Name Is......by Matthew West!
Bible Verse Of The Day: John 17:3
