Longing

October 2nd – Matthew 9:37-38

Matthew 9:37-38

God’s harvest is right in front of us, and the fields are ripe and ready. Family, friends, coworkers, and even strangers are aching for hope, searching for peace, and longing for the kind of love that only Jesus can give. But the Lord’s workers are few. And that’s where you and I come in. Jesus invites us to walk with Him hand-in-hand, including us in the most meaningful work of all, pointing hearts back to Him. And honestly, that’s not always big or dramatic. Sometimes it’s as simple as pausing to pray for someone, offering kindness instead of criticism, or just showing up for someone who feels overlooked. It could be a smile, a word of encouragement, or even inviting someone into community. Every little act of love is like planting a seed in a world starving for truth. God takes those small seeds and grows them into something far greater than we could imagine. All He asks is that we show up, willing and ready to step into the field. The harvest is plentiful, but it won’t gather itself. Will we say yes today to being workers in God’s great harvest?

April 4th – Luke 19:10

Luke 19:10

What a beautiful truth it is to know Jesus came for the lost. He didn’t wait for us to find Him, He came looking for us. For me, and for you. Jesus stepped into our brokenness, into our wandering hearts, and said, “You’re worth saving.” His mission was never general or distant, it was personal. He knew our names, our wounds, our stories, long before we ever called out to Him.

Jesus came for the woman who’s felt unseen. He came for the man who’s run too far, And He came for the one burdened by shame and guilt. Jesus came for every soul still searching, still hoping, still wondering if they’re lovable. The truth is we were lost, and Jesus came to find us. And even now, He’s still pursuing hearts. But here’s the question I’ve been asking myself lately. Am I truly seeking Jesus daily? Not just knowing about Him, but longing to know Him more? May we not just be found by Him, but follow Him with hearts that daily seek His face, His will, and His presence. Because Jesus came for us. And He still calls us to come to Him.

April 12th – Ephesians 2:8-9

Ephesians 2:8-9

There’s nothing more refreshing than spring rain. And like the rain that falls freely from the sky, God freely pours out His grace upon us. So just as the earth receives the life-giving rain, let us humbly accept His grace with hearts full of gratitude. For no matter how great we may see ourselves, there is nothing we can do on our own to make us worthy of salvation. Instead, because of God’s incredible, unconditional love, we are saved by faith through His unmerited favor alone. And in the same way that rain quenches the thirst of the earth, God’s grace satisfies the deepest longings of our souls, offering forgiveness, redemption, and eternal life. As we open ourselves to His grace, we are transformed by its power, experiencing the renewal and restoration that only He can provide. So may each drop of God’s grace remind of His boundless love and mercy, which knows no bounds and extends to all who seek Him. And in embracing His grace, let us live lives marked by humility, gratitude, and a steadfast trust in God’s unfailing love

January 24th – Jeremiah 17:9

Jeremiah 17:9

We are all born with a God shaped hole. A deep longing within us. A spiritual void that seeks purpose and fulfillment. Those who don’t know Jesus as their Savior, try to fill that emptiness on their own. But when we try to fill the hole inside with worldly substitutes, we discover that only a connection with God can truly satisfy the depths of our souls. Sadly, we live in a world that has turned its back on its Creator. It has become hostile to the Lord and His people. Yet as society seeks to make gods out of materialism, instant gratification, and superficial pleasures, the darker and emptier its people become. Because true contentment can’t be found in the fleeting distractions the world offers. Only God can completely fill the void within us. When we change from seeking the world to seeking God, we embark on a journey towards lasting contentment. One where His love, purpose, and grace become the sustaining forces in the midst of an ever-changing world.
