Story

1 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, "Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away."
4 This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:
5 "Say to Daughter Zion,
'See, your king comes to you,
gentle and riding on a donkey,
and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.' "

Matthew 21:1-5



Just as Jesus fulfilled the foretelling of the early prophets by riding into Jerusalem on a donkey, so too a story is playing out in your life in which you have a big role every day. You are special and dearly loved; God wants to use your life today in a script that has been playing out all around you in order that His love would be reflected to your colleagues, friends and family who are in desperate need of a Savior. Jesus wants to redeem and restore the broken and hurting hearts with whom you have crossed paths and He wants to use your obedience and your surrendered heart to start that process in other people’s lives. Keep the eyes of your heart open today for opportunities to share this awesome gift of love that God has placed in your heart of hearts and God will use you to hugely impact the world around you as the greatest love story of all time plays out in your life. Live your life for Him today!
