Here I am...


Luke 10:2 “The harvest is great, but the laborers are few.”

I was reading one of my devotionals the other morning, and he wrote about this baseball player, Albert Pujols from St Louis Cardinals. This player has a book out called, “More than the game.” He said that baseball is his God given platform to elevate Jesus. He plays first base, and reveled in his book, that on occasion, he ask players the eternity question while they were standing on first base, “If you died today, where do you think you’d go?” (and we think we don’t have the time or opportunity!)  Each of us who say we know, and follow Jesus, has someone within our reach. We are all divinely positioned - Exodus 9:16.

I found that incredible! I always thought baseball was boring to watch because it is so slow. But if I saw that action going on at first base, I would always make sure my seat was in full view of that base, and conversation. To me that’s more exciting than the game. I personally like to watch football, but I love the game of being positioned to help people understand the way to heaven, and what Jesus has done for me.

2 Corinthians 5:20 “Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ…”  As a follower of Jesus, this passion should be in all of us. Computers are the thing today for communication. Also phones today, people can go on facebook, and get and send emails. I used to hate computers. Now maybe just to inspire someone’s day, I love what God has given me to do. I love Christian music, and how it speaks right to your heart. I love Gods word for the same reason, but more than a song, it’s God’s word. It changes you if you let it.

So when God spoke to my heart and said, “Whom shall I send…” I said, “Here I am, send me.” 

What will your response be? Selah  

Grace and peace to you
