Time to Go

Mark 16:15-18

And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation. The one who believes and is baptized will be saved; but the one who does not believe will be condemned. 

“And these signs will accompany those who believe: by using my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes in their hands, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

Good Morning Gentle Readers

As children of God, we are all called to “Go into all the world” to share our gifts and proclaim good news. This calling can be different for everyone and can come at what appears to be inconvenient times. We often put off the gentle prodding until this or that is done or we may simply choose to ignore the call altogether because it is more comfortable to stay busy going about our days.

But we are not sent out into the world alone. God shows us signs along the way—the entire way. We just need to be open to recognize and accept these signs. When we follow this call to “Go into all the world” we will encounter Christ among us and share his presence with others.

Now a lot of you might say how can we do this, for most of us we cant just drop everything and leave it all behind to go off into the world and preach the Gospel, but that is not what God is asking for here. In our lives we can be witness to the Gospel by how we treat each other, how we interact day by day, and when the opportunity comes up we can take those little steps out of our way to care for our brothers and sisters. We can find the time to be Christ for others, in both big and small ways.

Today ask yourself, how is God calling you?

Take Care and God Bless
