We can be His mouthpiece, His example, His touch

We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. (2 Corinthians 5:20 NIV)

 As Christians, we are called to share the good news of salvation with others. Jesus commissioned His disciples with this task, and as His present-day disciples who love Him and follow Him, we are His agents, His representatives, appointed and anointed to help those who have not yet discovered how to connect with Him.
 When we commit to being available for God, we open the door for Him to lead us to situations where we can share His love and message. Since doing so is Christ’s commission to us, making ourselves available for this purpose should be a high priority for each of us.
 We’ll pray about how to be a channel of His love and truth. We’ll seek out circumstances in which we can be His mouthpiece, His example, His touch in someone’s life. We’ll be conscious of not letting potential chances to reach out to others pass us by.
 If we set our minds to encouraging and lifting up others, then we’ll be looking for opportunities to say hello to someone, to start a conversation, to share a kind word, to bring the Lord into the picture whenever we can.
 When we’ve committed to being available for the Holy Spirit’s purpose, and we’ve made it a goal in our heart and mind, then we are more apt to see and act on opportunities which present themselves. Even if they come at inopportune times, we’ll be more likely to recognize them and take action. —Peter Amsterdam [1]

 At the end of your life on earth you will be evaluated and rewarded according to how well you handled what God entrusted to you. —Rick Warren
