As I closed the message yesterday I tried to remind us all of the great opportunity of service we have today. I spoke of God's calling some to "full time" service and the great open door that this calling brings. I wanted us to remember that God has given us all spiritual gifts and with these gifts we have specific areas of service in the body of Christ. This opens a door of special purpose and place in service. Yet with both of these there are also the many things all Christians are given to do, such as, being a witness to others (Acts 1:8), being hospitable (Romans 12:12), bearing one another's burdens (Galatians 6:1-10), and several other regular actions of the believer that follow Christ's example who went about doing good. The doors are there, most are open wide, some need just to be pushed a little, but we all need to make an effort.
How I wished that the Holy Spirit would have pressed all of us through a door of simple service (Maybe He did) such as cleaning a room at the church, sweeping a sidewalk, washing windows, inviting a neighbor, preparing a meal, starting a Bible study of prayer group, writing a letter of encouragement, or another daily or weekly task that could go on unseen by most but invaluable to the body of Christ. Just doing a small part adds up to big things so ask yourself "What am I going to do for Jesus today?" Maybe you would share your open door on the comment response. Let's be workers together for His Kingdom.
