6 And this is God’s plan: Both Gentiles and Jews who believe the Good News share equally in the riches inherited by God’s children. Both are part of the same body, and both enjoy the promise of blessings because they belong to Christ Jesus. 7 By God’s grace and mighty power, I have been given the privilege of serving him by spreading this Good News.
Ephesians 3:6-7
Dear God, I sit here this morning as the recipient and beneficiary of this Good News. I could have been a Greek who worshipped the Unknown God (Acts 17:23). I could have been godless and not allowed the teachings of Jesus and your Holy Spirit growing within me to drive me into loving others, forgiveness, being a peacemaker, etc. As I sit here now, it’s hard for me to imagine what I would be like or who I would be without you. I have friends who are without you, and almost none of them are at peace. Some are constantly angry and cynical. I share you with them, and they seem to not want to leave what they already know so well. I suppose I wouldn’t want to either. I’m fortunate my father found you when his life was in a rocky stretch when I was 8 years old, and he started taking us to church.
So is there anything I need to be doing to let others know that they are heirs into your family? How else do I need to invite others in. What do I need to be doing to share you with those within my sphere of influence? What are the words you want me to say?
Father, I know I don’t do enough in this area. And I know that if I were to do a lot more then very few would accept the invitation. When I come across people today, give me eyes to see them with your eyes. Give me ears to hear them and know them with your ears and knowledge. Live through me. Love through me. Let your kingdom come on earth and your will be done on earth through me and your body, the Church. And thank you. Thank you, Father, for everything you are.
I pray this in Jesus and with your Holy Spirit,
Amen
