Each of the devotionals that I post, Jody and I have read and
been inspired by, through “The Upper Room”.
So much so, we wish to share them with all our friends! Let the journey begin…

Read John 14:1-7
We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were
making his appeal through us. We implore
you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to
God. – II Corinthians 5:20 (NIV)
While working as a personal fishing/hunting/exploring guide
I never leave home with out a map. Maps
surround my life, whether it’s on the lake or just looking on the plot map for
that perfect piece of property to target the specific spices of the
season. And without the proper legend
and reference markers, we think that we might be safe, but we’ve all of a
sudden wondered off the path and into trouble.
Many times this reflects our lives. Many of us are like living maps that lead
others to Christ. To do this our maps
must include love, kindness, gentleness and generosity. They must be oriented in such a way that the
user is pointed heavenward and not in the direction of the world. And they must be scaled to encompass all of
God’s children, not just some select group that we feel most comfortable with. I want to allow God to shape my life so that
it guides other towards Christ.
Thought For The Day
We may be the only maps to Christ some people will ever see…
