You might think yourself unworthy or too burdened with personal baggage that you are still being delivered from to be of use to God. But don’t deceive yourself. God can and will use anyone to accomplish His Will. Let us look at The Parable of the Two Sons, Matthew 21:28-32:
The Parable of the Two Sons28 “What do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first and said, ‘Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’ 29 “‘I will not,’ he answered, but later he changed his mind and went. 30 “Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I will, sir,’ but he did not go. 31 “Which of the two did what his father wanted?” “The first,” they answered. Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you. 32 For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent and believe him. |
As Christians we are duty-bound to do God’s Will, to answer the call to go forth and share The Word, to evangelize, to teach, to feed the hungry, to care for the widows, widowers, orphans, the sick and the homeless. We ALL have our part to play. There is plenty work to be done in the vineyard, but not enough laborers. If you have been redeemed and saved by the Blood of Jesus Christ, you are now apart of God’s Chosen laborers!!! Let us go forth and reap a bountiful harvest for Our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ.
Instead of asking what can I do, say “Use me Lord,” and just get busy being God’s arms, legs, hands, and mouthpiece in this world while you can before you have to go home. For we should all strive to hear these words, “…Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.” Matthew 25:21
Ways to work in the vineyard:
1. Spreading The Gospel of Jesus the Christ—share The Gift Of Salvation through evangelizing/witnessing on the streets, at work, while vacationing or shopping; writing for a publication about Jesus and The Bible; sharing your testimony to draw more souls to Christ; handing out Christian literature like Our Daily Bread.
2. Outreach in your community—donating your time AND talent; feeding the homeless; volunteering at a nursing home or hospital; hosting free health screenings at your church; collecting donations for those in need; organizing and sponsoring year round food pantries at your church; hosting events and programs to bring families and the young and old into the House of Worship.
This is just a smattering of the hundreds of ways you can serve. The real feat is just getting started at doing something. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
