“Here Am I; Send Me”
In the year that King Uzziah died, I
saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lofty; and the hem of his robe
filled the temple. Seraphs were in attendance above him; each had six wings;
with two they covered with their faces, and with two they covered their feet,
and with two they flew. And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy
is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory.” The pivots on the
thresholds shook at the voices of those who called, and the house filled with
smoke. And I said: “Woe is me! I am lost, for I am a man of unclean lips, and I
live among a people of unclean lips; yet my eyes have seen the King, the LORD
of hosts!”
Then one of the seraphs flew to me, holding a live coal that had
been taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. The seraph touched my mouth
with it and said: “Now that this has touched your lips, your guilt has departed
and your sin is blotted out.” Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom
shall I send, and who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I; send me!”
Isaiah 6:1-8
We all can be the answer to prayers in many hurting people’s
lives. When the prayer goes out for someone to represent Christ’s love, we
should respond with, “Here am I; send me!”
True service is love in working clothes.
