2nd Devo- you're all special and I am so thankful for all of you

I got a special phone call to be here by Joel Tooley (a Youth in Mission rep) and Scott Armstrong. They called me because I am special, because I have a gift no one else can offer, even though I don’t speak much Spanish and even maybe have been frustrated since I’ve been here. I am special.

You’re all special. God called all of you to be in this moment and in the times ahead for a reason. Each and everyone of you in special.

He has called us all here to be the hands and feet of Him where ever we are needed. It’s not by our works, it’s by Christ.

Ephesians 2:8-9 says, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.”       

Right now you’re meant to be in this room in Puebla, tomorrow its where ever you’re going to be. Being the hands and feet of Him, He is using you. For me, even if I am frustrated sometimes I have to remember that this is in His plan for me. He prepared this place and time of ministry for me before I even knew Scott was going to call me. You’re all special and I am so thankful and blessed we can all unite and be the hands and feet together.

My prayer for all of us together and apart lies in Ephesians 4:1-6, “As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called— one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.”      

Blessings to all!
