God of Time & Space is Always at work around us

Based on a true encounter, Names masked to protect identity of individuals.

Aunty J  walks out of the cinema hall with her hyped kids after their morning movie outing.

 
"That was awesome mum! Did you see the action in that scene where the bad guys......" 

Her kid's voice trailed off into a muted blur as Aunty J ponders deeply. 

Where should they go for lunch? Should the family hang out the area? She thought.

It was Good Friday and they have a long weekend. They were all looking forward to the break, but now that it's here, she wasn't sure what to do with all that time.

Buzz! Buzz!

Aunty J felt her phone vibrate. It was a text from N.

"Hey! Just wondering if you and the kids are free this afternoon! We're having Good Friday Celebrations at church at 2pm. Would be great to have you! There's also kids program!"

Aunty J was delighted! Perhaps that's just where they need to go! 

Aunty J was not a believer, but she has been to a few churches and they teach good lessons. 
Plus, they were in the building where the event was happening anyway! 

Aunty J replied N, "Sure! We'll head upstairs after lunch!"

"Great! I'll meet you guys out front at the entrance! Then you won't feel so lost in the huge crowd!" N quick responded.

The above is a testimony from a friend who is a seeker, who was deeply blessed by how a Christian youth remembered her and her kids, even though they had only a few encounter. And that God used his text in such a divine moment which turned into an encounter with the message of the cross (which she has been having questions about).

Even as we desire to go on mission with the Master, let us remember God is already & always at work around us. Perhaps a simple invitation at the prompting of the Holy Spirit will be what you need to contribute into this Kingdom Partnership and allow the Spirit to use as resource to reach the hearts of others. 

Mission assignments may not always look like world shaking, spectacular feats. It could be as simple as sending a WhatsApp prayer to bless another who has been prompted in your mind; or having a meal delivered to a neighbor you know isn't in the best health to cook or go out and grab food. It could be saying hi and pausing to find out how a migrant worker taking a break is feeling, or giving a smile to a flustered parent with fussing kid to encourage him/her that you understand that she is giving her best and that parenting is tough. And at times, if the Lord leads, make the choice to extend the grace of hospitality, love and share the good news of Immanual, God with us!

May we all live everyday being on #MissionWithTheMaster in all the creative ways the Master may teach us. :)
