You Are a Minister

You have a ministry. It’s called the ministry of reconciliation. Now most of us think about ministry as something we do out there in the world. On the mission field, or in a church setting. But that’s not the biblical pattern. For the disciples Jesus set their sites on Jerusalem first, right where they lived. Not somewhere out there in the world. What would happen if we began first in our homes and neighborhoods? What would happen if we simply said, “Lord use me right here.” How powerful to say and live out the truth that God is no longer counting your sins against you… to your spouse, to your children, to your neighbors? He has entrusted you with that ministry. Today trust him to carry out this ministry of reconciliation through you, right where you are.
