Devotional Jesus Makes Time for You

[Lori Jane]

“We must quickly carry out the tasks assigned us by the one who sent us.The night is coming, and then no one can work. But while

I am here in the world, I am the light of the world.” ‭‭

John‬ ‭9:4-5 (NLT)‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

Excerpt:
That evening, we reconnected in a beautiful and needed way. As we caught up, she shared that she believes Jesus is an incredible historical figure who did some amazing things but not much else. I got to listen to her and communicate about my passion for reaching people who have been hurt by religion. I told her that I want to introduce them to Jesus without all the extra man-made stuff that’s been added to Him over the years. Now that was a Jesus she was curious about!

...

The next time something comes up — unscheduled and maybe even inconvenient — perhaps it is something God is sending you to for His glory.



Father, thank You for all the people You have sent to serve me in the past. Help me keep my eyes open for the tasks You have assigned me to do, and may I do them quickly for Your glory. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Love this part!

It makes me think of Romans 12: 6 “We have different gifts according to the grace given us. If one’s gift is prophecy, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve, if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage, etc..” You can see how Shala used her gift to help someone come to know Jesus. Very encouraging story.
