Reflect today on your willingness to be sent by Christ

Jesus appointed seventy-two other disciples whom he sent ahead of him in pairs to every city and place he intended to visit. He said to them: “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few; then ask the master of the harvest to send laborers for his harvest “. Luke 10: 1-2

The world is in great need of Christ's love and mercy. It is like a barren, barren land waiting to absorb the light rain. You are that rain and our Lord wants to send you to bring his grace to the world.

It is important that all Christians understand that they are indeed sent by the Lord to others. This Scripture above reveals that the world is like a field of abundant fruit waiting to be harvested. Too often it stands there, withering on the vines, with no one to pick it up. This is where you come in.

How ready and willing are you to be used by God for his mission and purpose? You may often think that the work of evangelizing and reaping good fruits for God's Kingdom is someone else's work. It's so easy to think, "What can I do?"

The answer is quite simple. You can turn your attention to the Lord and let Him send you. Only He knows the mission He has chosen for you and He alone knows what He wants you to collect. Your responsibility is to be careful. Listen, be open, be ready and be available. When you feel that He is calling and sending you, do not hesitate. Say "Yes" to his kind suggestions.

This is achieved first of all through prayer. This passage says: "Ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers for his harvest." In other words, pray that the Lord will send many zealous souls, including yourself, into the world to assist the many hearts in need.

Reflect today on your willingness to be sent by Christ. Give yourself to his service and wait to be sent. When he speaks to you and sends you on your way, go leisurely and be amazed by all that God wants to do through you.

Lord, I give myself to your service. I put my life at your feet and commit myself to the mission you have in store for me. Thank you, Lord, for loving me enough to be used by You. Use me as you wish, dear Lord. Jesus I believe in you.
