surprising audience

Good morning sisters and brothers,
After Jesus' disciples returned from their mission to heal and preach he thanked God for God's surprising calling. God often chooses to reveal important things to people the world doesn't think much of. At the same time, the "important" people in the world are often too busy or too wrapped up in themselves to notice God's calling anyway. God has given each of us gifts to serve others and build up the kingdom. Our role is to listen for God's voice and see where it leads us. I'm grateful for the community of faith gathered together and scattered across the world.

God bless,
Sam

Luke 10:21-24

²¹At that same hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. ²²All things have been handed over to me by my Father; and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.” ²³Then turning to the disciples, Jesus said to them privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see! ²⁴For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, but did not see it, and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it.”
