“We are therefore ambassadors for Messiah, as though God were making His appeal through us. We beg you on behalf of Messiah, be reconciled to God.”
—2 Corinthians 5:20, TLV

I urge you to awaken to who you are: Father’s beloved child who has been rescued from spiritual ignorance and alienation from God your Creator through the blood of His Son. Father has called you out of darkness and filled you with Himself. He now sends you into a strange and foreign land of souls who are alienated from Father’s love and in need of our Savior.

The Lord releases us into this world to be lighthouses that draw all men into the light of Yeshua. Jesus said, “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven” (Matt. 5:14–16).

Remember that suffering souls alienated from Father and without hope surround you. As the priests of old made atonement for the people of Israel through the blood of bulls and goats, so today we must bring people to God through the blood of the Lamb, who is Jesus. You are Messiah’s ambassador. God is making an appeal through you to people in need of being ushered into the arms of their loving Father.

“God has given us this task of reconciling people to Him. For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And He gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation” (2 Cor. 5:18–19, NLT). Let us go into the world as an army of believers taking God’s Word of hope and life across the globe. Together we are bringing heaven down to earth and leading Father’s children into His loving arms!

Father, thank You for choosing me and loving me so much that You sent Jesus to save me, forgive me, and release me into Your arms. You bring me life and hope. Fill me afresh with Your love today. I look for doors of opportunity to take Your light and hope to those desperately in need of You. Give me Your wisdom and discernment, and equip me to walk and speak with Your heart. May my life testify of Your love and ways so others will be drawn to seek and know You as their Lord and Savior.
