Our World is Aching for Jesus

2708

Good Morning,

Part of a reflection on today's Gospel -- from The Word Among Us:

"The world is aching for Jesus. People are yearning for an answer to their cries of brokenness. They're longing for a reason to hope.

Each of us has a unique faith, unique relationships, and unique talents that make us an irreplaceable laborer in the economy of salvation. What's more, God doesn't just send us out to flounder while He watches from his corporate office in the sky. No, he works alongside us, sending his Spirit both to help us and to prepare people's hearts for the witness we will bring. So ask the Spirit for guidance as you look for specific needs in your family, parish, or community.

As you enter this market of evangelization, know that one of your greatest resources is your own personal experience. It's the times when you felt especially close to God or when you received an answer to a desperate prayer. It's the times when you found yourself willing to forgive someone or reach out to someone very different from yourself. Don't keep these  things bottled up inside of you. Let them out! TELL PEOPLE HOW GOD HAS CHANGED YOUR LIFE, and let them know that he can do the same thing for them. 

Yes, God wants to hire you. So try to take one step of faith today and see where it leads. Even if you don't see immediate fruit, your witness will plant seeds of faith that will sprout later. A generous employer, GOD WILL REWARD YOUR EFFORTS.

'Lord, I'll take the job. Holy Spirit, guide me to those who are waiting to hear today that you love and accept them.' "

Peace,
