COMMON GROUND

Today’s Scripture: “So we are Christ’ ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us.” 2 Corinthians 5:20

Today’s Message: As brothers and sisters in Christ we are all on common ground. God has given us an assignment of being his ambassadors and showing the world the way to Jesus. We all have the same assignment but may have a different path to complete that assignment. Some are given the ability to teach and are able to hold the interest of those are around them. Others are given the gift of speech where they able to go up to others and begin a conversation. Still others are given a love for people and go to great lengths to get the word of God out to them. It doesn’t matter how we reach our goal it matters that we believe in our Lord and through faith we reach it. It takes hard work to do our part. We are given the assignment but we must have strong faith and the desire to complete it. It takes many conversations with the Lord in prayer and much study to know his Word. We, however, have direct access through the gift of the Holy Spirit. As Christians our lives change. Our thoughts suddenly become one with our Lord. But we must stay the course in order to complete our work. The world around us is always lurking in order to steal our message away. We must always be diligent in our every move. We must stay strong by keeping our spirits strong and keep moving forward with the wisdom and understanding our God in heaven is willing to give us. We are on common ground created by our Lord. We all have the same message to carry to the world. For as long as our Lord grants us the privilege of living on this earth we must continue to do his work. We are all chosen ambassadors. Praise the Lord in all things!
