On Assignment

Sometimes, I forget I am on assignment.
I forget that it’s not about me. I know the curriculum. I’ve read the objectives. I am called to be a missionary. I am a mouthpiece for the Redeemer.
But, I forget that sometimes.
I forget on Friday afternoons when the bills have to be paid, and the check book is low. I forget when I watch the six o’clock news, and my stomach turns. I forget when I am in the endlessly long line at Walmart.
I think Salvation is about me, but it’s not.
Salvation is about Him. It’s of the Lord. And the Lord loves. He loves the serial killer, and the uncooperative insurance agent. He loves the gang member, and the terrorist on the plane.
He loves. He loves uncooperative, apathetic me.
I am on assignment. He came to save us all.
Lord, help me to run in the right direction singing salvation songs.
I am joining like-minded sisters at She Reads Truth and sharing a reflection on Jonah, Chapters 1 and 2 today.
Whew! Short and sweet! You don’t need to have a book length post to convey the powerful message. It’s not about us, it’s not our show, it’s not our time in the spotlight. In the Shadow of the King fulfilling our purpose is where we belong. Thank you for putting it so simply, your post really blessed me.
At the end of the day, we all need a Savior. May I never forget.
Thank you for the reminder that we are all called whether that is secular or as a missionary. We still need to turn to God despite and in response to the little things that can easily get in the way
If I am going to run, I want to be running toward Him. Lord, please help me run in the right direction in faith.
Thanks for the reminder that we are here on a mission.
It is pretty that our Creator God lets us be on His team, Right?
I am a mouthpiece for the Redeemer.
I like that!
You’re right, it’s easy to forget we are on assignment. Thanks for the reminder.
I was reading up on Jonah in a commentary, and suddenly I realized I am like him in so many ways.
