Sam has a common story with an uncommon ending. He is an alcoholic, who came to realize it was time to clean up his life. He had three children to care for and his dependence on alcohol was affecting his ability to be a good father. God moved in his heart, prompting Sam to lead a life of sobriety.

Initially Sam thought this was the end of his journey. He was done with alcohol and praised God for it. But, God moved in his heart again. This time it was to help others, to share his story of redemption. Sam started a recovery group at his church. He invited all his old drinking buddies. Many came and many were helped by his efforts.

Sam didn’t initially think God had a ministry call on his life. He just knew he was redeemed in Christ. But through Sam’s story, many others have invested in the recovery program and in leading others to find Christ in their lives. Every day is a new opportunity to share Jesus.

How is God working in your life? Where might He be leading you to reach out to others for His glory? Today, I pray you are blessed by a new opportunity to reach our world with the Good News of Jesus. It may be unexpected, but God has a big plan for you.
