...to whom I am sending you

  to open their eyes,

so that they may turn

       from darkness to light

and from the power of Satan

               to God,

that they may receive

     forgiveness of sins

and a place among those who are

   sanctified by faith in Me.

                 Acts 26. 17-18

("To whom I am sending you."

What does that look like today?

The people we meet

   and the relationships we have

   are not arbitrary meetings,

        nor random encounters,

   but divine appointments.

God has anointed

             and appointed us

to love others to Him,

to proclaim the gospel

         in words and deeds,

     and bring His name there.

God works through relationships.

      He always has.

There are no strangers in His sight.)

O LORD,

Open our eyes to the people

   to whom You have

   strategically and purposefully

       placed on our paths today.

May we be sensitive to needs

   and fully aware

   that everyone struggles with something.

Help us to bring Your grace

  even in unexpected places

  and among unlikely people.

We can never know

   who is searching for You.

May we be not just "nice" people

     in these situations,

but Your faithful ones.
