Ambassador
How apt, today being our Nation's birthday. My devotion today is from 2 Cor 5:11-6:2. I quote from vs 20:
"We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making His appeal through us..."
I suddenly realised that God is making His appeal through us. How have I been conveying His appeal to others? His appeal was made with such love, humility, patience, sacrifice. In my hands, I have conveyed this appeal with embarrassment, with hesitation, with fear. Oh, what a mindset-breaking perspective!
Quote from the guide: "Ambassadors who genuinely love the 'country' they represent are much more attractive than those who deliver prepared speeches."
Hmmm, what is the deeper root of my fear and hesitation? I think I know...
