Send Me


If we don’t walk in love, we’ll mess up 
the whole process of what God has called each and every one of us to do. We’ll shut down THE BLESSING and end up stumbling around in darkness because: “He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is 
in darkness even until now. He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stum￾bling in him. But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes” (1 John 2:9-11).
When we get into strife and bitterness, when we stop acting in love, it’s like we put on a coat of darkness. We’re still light on the inside, but because that light is covered 
up, we find ourselves in the dark. We don’t belong in the dark! We’re not designed to live 
there. We are light in the Lord. 
It’s time we started being aware of that fact and walking “as children of light” (Ephesians 5:8). It’s time we “cast off the works of darkness, and…put on the armour of light” 
(Romans 13:12).
That’s what our heavenly Father does. Psalm 104:2 says He covers Himself with light as with a garment. He is light inside and out; and He made us to be the same way. 
He has energized us and made us alive with the light of His creative glory. He has crowned us with that glory by giving us THE BLESSING. He has commissioned us and 
equipped us to be fruitful, multiply and fill the earth with the light force of His glory.
What a privilege! What an opportunity!
When we grasp the fullness of it, we won’t shrink back in fear when we think about God sending us into some dark, barren place. We’ll volunteer for the assignment. 
We’ll be eager for the chance to charge into it and set it ablaze with the light of God. We’ll be saying, “Send me there, Lord! I can bring THE BLESSING to that place. I 
can bring the glory into it. Here am I. Send me!”
