Matthew 9:35 says, “Jesus traveled through all the towns and villages of that area, teaching in the synagogues and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom. And he healed every kind of disease and illness. ³⁶ When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. ³⁷ He said to his disciples, “The harvest is great, but the workers are few.”

That is how humans are without Jesus, we are confused and helpless. We wander the earth feeling alone, wondering why we are here and what is the purpose of life.

If you feel confused or helpless, do not be alone anymore. Give your heart to Jesus. All you have to do is believe that Jesus is the Son of God, that is it. There is no fancy ritual or act to be performed. Simply declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, and you will be saved. Romans 10:9

Let’s pray. Thank You for loving us, exactly as we are. Help us to be an example of Your love to everyone we encounter. Lord, help us to grow in You each day. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
