On Assignment

Sometimes, I forget I am on assignment.

I forget that it’s not about me.  I know the curriculum.  I’ve read the objectives.  I am called to be a missionary.  I am a mouthpiece for the Redeemer.

But, I forget that sometimes.

I forget on Friday afternoons when the bills have to be paid, and the check book is low.  I forget when I watch the six o’clock news, and my stomach turns.  I forget when I am in the endlessly long line at Walmart.

I think Salvation is about me, but it’s not.

Salvation is about Him.  It’s of the Lord.  And the Lord loves.  He loves the serial killer, and the uncooperative insurance agent.  He loves the gang member, and the terrorist on the plane.

He loves.  He loves uncooperative, apathetic me.

I am on assignment.  He came to save us all. 

Lord, help me to run in the right direction singing salvation songs.

 

I am joining like-minded sisters at She Reads Truth and sharing  a reflection on Jonah, Chapters 1 and 2 today.
