God always calls us to serve where we are and not in some distant place or future time. In any place you find yourself, let your light shine there. Bear another’s burdens. Hurt with those who hurt. Weep with those who weep. Rejoice with those who rejoice. Encourage those who struggle. Strengthen the weak with words of kindness. Point the way to some traveler. Do good to the bodies and souls of the people for whom Christ died, right where you are today!
“And don’t be wishing you were someplace else or with someone else. Where you are right now is God’s place for you. Live and obey and love and believe right there. God, not your marital status, defines your life. Don’t think I’m being harder on you than on the others. I give this same counsel in all the churches.” 1 Corinthians 7:17 (Message)
