 As an ambassador of Heaven you have been called to be a minister of peace and reconciliation! That means your job is to represent the heart of the King wherever you go! We can do that by praying and lifting our voice to the King, like Esther did. We can be confident in the fact that God hears us! We also bring Heaven to Earth by caring about the things that He cares about and expressing that through our lives. When girls say, “I don't know what I'm supposed to do with my life,” I always tell them, “Find an injustice [something that is wrong with the world] and bring God's heart into the situation. Go change it!"  That's  what you can do with your life; whether it's caring for orphans, setting people free from human trafficking, starting a Bible study group at school, teaching at a public school, restoring holiness in the arts and entertainment industry, or ministering to folks at a retirement home. The opportunities are endless! As His royal people, we were called for such a time as this. This is not the time to sit around and do nothing, but to get up and go! 

The world is really big. Trying to change it all at once is such a vast concept and a frightening task...so what are some practical things that will actually make a difference in the lives of those around you? 

You could ask the waitress at your favorite restaurant if you can pray for her; offer to babysit your neighbor’s kids for free; cook a meal for someone and drop it off at their house; write a letter of encouragement to the kid at your school who is always being bullied. Encourage everyone and speak life everywhere you go! Jesus said, “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.” The word disciple means "learner." So lead and teach with your life. If you see a situation where

someone is suffering, hurting, or is simply down in the dumps...get in there and do something about it! Jesus told us to “Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, cast out demons. Freely you have received. Freely give.” Matthew 10:8. If you see a situation where Hell is getting the upper hand, go in and change it. Petition Heaven and make the wrongs right!
