Just a Minute Devotional #13
A conversation with Jesus
Again, Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” (John 20:21, NIV)
Me: Are you speaking to me, Lord, or to only the disciples?
Jesus: Yes, I am speaking to you.
Me: I can’t do it, Lord. I have no skills and no voice. I am a nobody. Who would listen to me?
Jesus: You have me in you, do you not?
Me: Yes.
Jesus: Did not my Father use a young lad named David with just a slingshot?
Me: Yes.
Jesus: Did I not use a boy’s lunch to feed 5,000?
Me: Yes.
Jesus: Did I use twelve simple men to further my Kingdom?
Me: Yes.
Jesus: Then why not you?
Me: (Silence).
Jesus: Remember this:
Christ gave each one of us a special gift. Everyone received what He wanted to give them. (Ephesians 4:6–7, ERV)
Jesus: Have I given you a special gift, no matter how small it seems?
Me: Yes.
Jesus: Do you love me, Jenny?
Me: Yes, Lord. You know all things.
Jesus: Then feed my sheep.
