Pencils in His Hand


Did you know that you are a love letter, sent by God into this tumultuous world, to be read and to make His love known by everyone you meet?

May’s Awakening, Day 27

Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.

 —Mother Teresa 

We are all pencils in the hand of a writing God, who is sending love letters to the world.

 —Mother Teresa 



I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first. Revelation 2:19 NIV



            Love, faith, service, and perseverance—doing His work, being the chosen instrument, to bring the light and love of Jesus Christ to this disparaging world. You are the pencil, and God is writing to reach the lost, the hungry, the poor, the downtrodden, the hurting, the sick, the outcast—the same ones Jesus came for—just like you and me, just as we all are without Christ—wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked. And some of us didn’t even know our loathsome situation until we met Him. That’s why we’re here—to be connected firmly to Him and connect with others and bring them to a better place—meeting their needs physically, emotionally, and spiritually such that nothing is lacking. Be not ashamed to do His humble work. Be His pencil, be His love letter to someone who’s never known true love.
