Before Jesus ascends into heaven, He makes it clear that He desires everyone to be baptized into God's holy family. Therefore, our faith needs to be shared with everyone always. I think every disciple of Jesus needs to take this very seriously. We must pray to the Holy Spirit to strengthen us in this task. We may never even realize the impact we may have on someone else in our lives.
I am grateful that the parents of my great-grandma in Poland took this command to heart. I'm sure they had no idea that baptizing my great-grandma would spread seeds of faith across the world to the United States one day. My own mother never got to meet my grandchildren, yet the seeds of her faith are in them. I hope my faith will grow in my grandchildren's children as well. I may never know. But what I do know is that I must trust God's Plan. If I don't do my part, a link will be broken, and the world already has too many broken links.
Our world still needs to be converted. The job is as important today as it was when Jesus commissioned the disciples. Jesus is still hiring for this job. He could use someone just like you. I hope you answer His call because today is a great day to start planting seeds!
