17 Jesus responded to them, “My Father is still working, and I am working also.” (John 5:17 CSB)

“I figure God likes it when I show up.” (Brennan Manning’s, “The Relentless Tenderness of Jesus”)

Possibly over half of our job is simply showing up. I understand this is not always that easy in today’s hectic life. But showing up does not necessarily mean going some where. No, showing up simply means being present with God and knowing that God is always present.

If we can simply show up we can be used by God. If we simply show up we can be taught by God…

This is especially true in others lives where our presence, and God through us, can be most intensely felt. But we have to be there for others and be willing to let the Spirit lead for us to provide what they might need.

Who do you need to show up for today?
