Send Someone!

Jesus always makes the first move to draw people into His arms, into knowing Him and how deeply He loves them. He doesn’t just sit back and wait for us to figure it out.

When I have felt lost, I’ve felt LOST. I’ve had no clue how to find my way. I’ve wandered in circles. But God, who is full of compassion for lost souls, intervenes and pursues His children.

I probably sound like a broken record, writing that truth week after week. But it’s because over and over I need to remind the enemy of my soul that I am not listening to any of his lies. I am drowning them out. I am standing on the truth of God’s Word, that God is pursuing my children, God is pursuing my children, GOD IS PURSUING MY CHILDREN… with a fierce, unrelenting passion.

In Acts 26 the Apostle Paul tells King Agrippa his true story of how Jesus supernaturally appeared to him, when he was way off track, and called him to be His witness… such amazing grace and redemption. Paul was to go out and tell people what he had personally experienced of Jesus. Acts 26:17,18(NIV) says…

 “I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.”

I believe these are verses we can pray. God looks for people willing to be sent. “LORD, send me!” And He also hears a parent’s cry, “LORD, send someone to open my child's eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God…”
