Day 6: Go Home and Tell Them

Scripture

As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon possessed begged to go with him. But Jesus said, No, go home to your family, and tell them everything the Lord has done for you and how merciful he has been. — Mark 5:18-19 (NLT)

Mark 5:18-19

The man wants to leave with Jesus. Jesus sends him home — to the very people who know his history. That is often the hardest assignment: not to a stage, but to your family, your street, your old friends. His assignment is not to make his past sound dramatic. It is to make God's mercy known. The man started off separated and rejected by everyone. Then Jesus gave him somewhere to belong and something to do. Who in your home or history needs to hear what the Lord has done for you?

Prayer

Jesus, give me courage to go home and tell. Show me one person from my past who needs to hear about Your mercy.
