Ezekiel 2:2-3   ² And when he spoke to me, a spirit entered into me and set me on my feet; and I heard him speaking to me.  ³ He said to me, Mortal, I am sending you to the people of Israel, to a nation of rebels who have rebelled against me; they and their ancestors have transgressed against me to this very day.

Who has God put in your path? Are there those you encounter who you know God is telling you to befriend and to share God’s grace? We have received God’s grace for a reason. It is our task to share that grace and love with others so that they might also know what it means to walk in grace.

Sometimes in order for someone to be open to receive God’s grace, they must face their sin. They need to admit that they have made mistakes in trying to go it alone. They need God in order to get through the winding paths of life.

God is calling us to be the one to help them through that discovery time. As we help them see where they fall short we also are called to love them as Christ loved them. We are not to judge, rather we are to offer grace and forgiveness: the grace and forgiveness that comes through a relationship with Jesus. God sets us on our feet and shows us where we are to go. God shows us who needs the message of grace and hope and gives us the courage to open the door for them.

Lord, you have set us on our feet. Help us to listen for your leading that we might share your love and forgiveness with those you put in our path. Amen.
