Will He find one in YOU?

Do not be afraid to fail. Be afraid not to try. Have a Successful day! Undeterred Determination… All things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation. — (2 Corinthians 5:18) One of the great privileges of serving at Moody Bible Institute was hearing about graduates who had impacted the world for Christ. Their stories of sacrifice, perseverance, and passion for the gospel were inspiring.
	In the late 19th century, Mary McLeod Bethune spent two years studying at Moody in Chicago , training to become a missionary in Africa . But after she graduated, no mission board would give her the opportunity, as an African-American woman, to serve on the mission field. Unable to fulfill her dream to go to Africa , she didn’t give up on her calling to serve Jesus. Undaunted, she started a small school for African-American girls in Florida that would eventually blossom into Bethune-Cookman College . She became a powerful force for change in the status of women. Mary’s legacy was forged by her determination to serve Jesus even in the face of shattered dreams. She knew that God had entrusted to her “the ministry of reconciliation” (2 Cor. 5:18) — and she wouldn’t give up.
That wasn’t just a mandate for Mary McLeod Bethune. Telling people they can be reconciled to God through Christ is a calling given to all of us. Look for a way to make a difference for Jesus today — right where you are! Wherever You have placed us, Lord, Give us the courage to proclaim To people who are lost in sin: “You can be new in Jesus’ name. One of the qualities God looks for in His people is a heart that is willing to serve Him. Will He find one in YOU? PRAISE GOD BLESSED BE THE ONE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD
