In the famous Louvre Museum in France, there is a painting by Bartolome Murillo called, “The Miracle of San Diego”. In the painting, two noblemen and a priest enter a kitchen and watch the kitchen maids at work. One handles a pot, another a cut of meat, another a basket of vegetables, and one tends the fire. The men look surprised to find that the maids are not people but actually angels.

Not every one is called to go abroad into the mission field but I can tell you this. We are all called to be a missionaries! We are all called to spread the wonderful truth of God’s great mercy toward us everywhere we go!

God has each of us placed where we are for a specific reason — to fulfill the great commission! Let’s pray and ask the Lord how we can best fulfill the great commission where we are and allow the Lord to show us how we can impact our world for the Kingdom today! There’s so much work to be done!
