Delivery Man

Sounds like such a low paying, glory-less title; doesn't it?

What was the first position that popped into your head?

Was it the postman/woman that delivers our glorious bills and all of the junk mail we don't want?

Was it the UPS man delivering our recently purchased goodie? Has brown really done anything for you lately?

"Here comes the windup, the delivery... STRIKE THREE-yooour'e OUT!!!!" How about that delivery? 

How about in the 'olden' days when the milkman stopped by the house? If only that delivery came with Oreos.

Pizza or Chinese tonight? Delicious!! 

The stork has always been synonymous with a 'drop and fly' routine... 


I think considering the season, it would be appropriate to mention good old Santa. Who doesn't enjoy that delivery? I guess we should give mention to the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy while we're at it. 

Which leads us to the Virgin Mary and the single greatest 'delivery' of all times, next to whom she delivered of course, Jesus - who delivered to us the single greatest gift of all times.

How about the image looking back at you in the mirror? Do you see yourself as a delivery man or woman?

Are we not called to deliver the most important message of all? No postage necessary, that's been prepaid. It's the one gift Santa cannot deliver and we don't have to purchase it or sign for it. Sorry to rustle your feathers stork, you're out too.

The Great Commission has us charged with a great responsibility.

Matthew 28:16-20 18 Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. 19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations,[b] baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

We have all been equipped with God given gifts and have been blessed with a life tale designed to be spoken into the lives of those God so sends our way. We need only to deliver this gift and unwrap it for all to hear.

This is the one gift that you need not feel guilty about re-gifting.

Who around you can use the gift of salvation: of peace and hope? What had God gifted your with that you can use to re-gift? Do you have the courage to make this delivery? As the scripture commands ... GO!

Gift the gift of encouragement.
