1 Samuel 3:4 “Then the LORD called Samuel. Samuel answered, "Here I am." 

Abba Father good morning – Our living God will put a burning passion with a vision, deep within our heart, our mind, and our soul; embracing our life with a penetrating desire. A desire of compassion radiating from our amazing God to all of life; willingly encountering and embracing each life with gifts of undeserved grace; overflowing with hope, unconditional love, and forgiveness. God has a specific purpose for our life; a path to travel. Our Lord Jesus traveled a path having a mission, a purpose of transforming lives. Reaching out to all in need, desiring all of life to believe, accept, trust, and follow. Jesus willingly said “Here I am” knowing the road that was to be traveled. Traveling a road that had curves, turns, twists, with a fork; where the destination was a decision, not a dead end. This fork traveled in opposite directions; with two drastically different destinations. Jesus choose the path less traveled; the journey was hard, bumpy, and painful at times. The path Jesus traveled revealed moments with miracles transforming the lives of many. Broken, damaged, and hurting lives feeling real pain. Lives that were losing hope to persevere, feeling the emptiness of despair. Lives where rejection, isolation, hopelessness was real with penetrating pain day after day. Lives the ways of this world had trashed, called worthless, and left behind. As Jesus lived this path of life; hope was being restored, rejection was being embraced, the left behind were welcomed. This path held the foundation that sustained the uncertainties of life. As Jesus was renewing, refreshing, redeeming, and restoring lives; some were watching, listening, seeking, and desiring. Some were fearful, blaming, and planning a dead end in this path less traveled. The mocking, persecution, and condemning turned violent; the trial was staged, beatings were sentenced, lashings took place, crucifixion was fulfilled, tomb was sealed. This path less traveled appeared to be in despair; but the foundation held, it sustained, and the resurrection was fulfilled. As the ways of this world was attempting to take control, overpower and destroy. Our living God was holding back, the best yet to come. The tomb was opened, wrappings were there, resurrection was fulfilled; the promise of eternal life in heaven was affirmed. Our Lord Jesus this moment is alive sitting at the right hand of God the Father. This path less traveled by Jesus our Lord; is a path we can travel this day. In the garden of Gethsemane Jesus said “here I am” Father your will be done. As we willingly encounter and embrace our living God with words of “here I am” our heart, our mind, and our soul will proclaim a message of hope. Jesus fulfilled a mission, as can we. There will be opportunities arising out of nowhere, right when we least expect it. They will be hidden blessings of undeserved grace within this day to share the good news of Jesus our Lord. This life with redemption, restoration, and eternal life in heaven; promises with compassion overflowing with hope, unconditional love, and forgiveness. We have a choice, a decision, and a way of life to choose. As we call out “here I am” are we proclaiming with our life the ways of this world or the ways of our living God, our Lord Jesus, and Holy Spirit? Our life has purpose, worth, and passion. What we call out is living deep within our heart, our mind, and our soul. 

Father – Thank you for calling my name; opening my heart, my mind, and my soul to a life of undeserved grace. Encounter and embrace my life as I call out “here I am Lord” teach me your ways, draw me close, and lead me on the path less traveled by Jesus our Lord. I am thankful, grateful, and cherish our friendship Abba Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit. 

If you or someone you know is in of need a bible; Gods living word, private message me and I will see to it you get one no questions asked.
