"As Jesus was walking on from there he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax office, and he said to him, 'Follow me.' And he got up and followed him. Now while he was at table in the house it happened that a number of tax collectors and sinners came to sit at the table with Jesus and his disciples. When the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, 'Why does your master eat with tax collectors and sinners?' When he heard this he replied, 'It is not the healthy who need the doctor, but the sick. Go and learn the meaning of the words: Mercy is what pleases me, not sacrifice. And indeed I came to call not the upright, but sinners.'" - Matthew 9: 9-13

Like Matthew, we are sinners.

Like Matthew we have been called.

Like Matthew, we're choosing to shed ourselves with a new life with Christ.

We move forward with our purpose accepting that it was never our job to uplift. It is just our role to be a bridge, an instrument, so that Jesus can work in as many lives as we can reach, with as much effort as He is working in ours.
