Devotion Here Am I, Send Me

Isaiah 6:8-9a Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.And he said, Go, and tell this people,...”Do I see the needPeople dyingIn huts and housesIn dungeons and mansionsLying to themselves“But I'm a good person”While seeking to fill the void insideWith sex, drugs, power, wealthWith family, good works, even religion?Who will go and share the truthAll have sinned.Not stop there, but proclaim His name,Jesus came, died on the cross,And rose again to life.The only One able to fillthe void of darkness and despair inside?Will we share Jesus,As the Savior who lives to offerforgiveness,help,hopeTo all willing to come, bow,accept His gift of lifenow and for eternity?Who will proclaim Christ's love,His message of wholeness in Him aloneWill I?Will you?Lord, help me have a willing heart to share You with a hurt and hurting, often rejecting, world. Amen.Colossians 1:9b-10 ...(We) do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that you might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; That you might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;By Carolyn R ScheidiesFrom First I Bow
