Today’s devotion is from the Transforming Mission website, launched by contemporary pastor Tim Bias and Sara Thomas, a regional missional specialist.

Being a follower of Jesus is more than a private belief—it’s a mission.  God’s mission began with sending Jesus into the world in love. Now, as Jesus’ followers, we are sent—filled with that same love—to care for our neighbors, serve those in need, and yes, even love our enemies. This isn’t a church program or a personal initiative. It’s God’s mission, and we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to live it out every day. Being sent means reflecting God’s love through small acts of care and kindness—at work, at home, in your community, even in difficult spaces. It’s letting your life speak so that others are drawn to the source of your joy, peace, and compassion. Today, ask yourself: Who around me needs to experience God’s love? How can I make that visible through my words, actions, and presence?

Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you. [John 20:21-22]
