Part 1 of The Visitor Series

When we begin to see other people in our lives as opportunities to minister, and not distractions to our schedules, we are beginning to love more like God. Does God set times with us, or make us make an appointment? Did Jesus refuse to tend to those who tugged on his robes, when he was on the way to see someone else? We are often God’s unexpected visitor, and God loves it. God loves it when we make time for God, and God loves it even more so when we make time for God that was not first planned into our day.

There is a song that we sing in Scouts which is called Scout Vespers. It goes something like this: “Softly falls the light of day as our campfire fades away. Silently each scout should ask, “Have I done my daily task? Have I kept my honor bright? Can I guiltless sleep tonight? Have I done and have I dared everything to be prepared?” Have I done all I could to be prepared? Have I lived my day honorably? Have I done all I could for the Lord today?
