I was reading in John this morning and was really challenged by Jesus’ words to his disciples. He reminded them to “Open your eyes and look at the fields. They are ripe for harvest.”
This entire chapter reminded me that there are people all around that are ready to trust Jesus with their life, all they need is someone to represent Christ to them.
These thoughts led me to pray and ask God to send people there way that will show the kindness of Jesus to them. People that will speak hope and offer acceptance. Maybe I was praying for you. Perhaps you are going to represent Jesus today to someone who has realized that something is missing in their life. Keep your eyes open and be willing to represent Christ when the opportunities present themselves.

This comment has spoken volumes to me as I have been battling a situation at my workplace. A co-worker whom I thought was a VERY good friend betrayed me any manipulative manners. I now have to find it in my heart to forgive her because Christ forgives me. I have been dealing with this for weeks now. My heart is so broken. I cannot believe she would deceive me the ways she has. I need to “get over it” and begin to pray for her so she can have healing and her soul can be led to
Christ. Please remember us in your prayers.
