Dear Lord, in some ways it’s easier for me to think of the church as called to be doing missions in the world than to deal with my own calling right here in Jackson County. Yet, as a member of your church and as your disciple, I am part of your mission work.
You have “sent” me to this place to represent you and to do your work.
Help me, Lord, to be faithful to my sending, whether I’m at work, or in the store, or talking with my neighbors, or . . . you name it. Even today, may I see my life and work differently because I know that you have sent me.
Finally, I thank you, Lord, for the privilege of being sent by you. What a high honor! What a high calling, indeed!
Amen.
