Shake the dirt off! The reality is that we are not all welcomed and we surely are not all accepted. But that should not and does not hinder us from doing the task set before us. Jesus gave the 70 a message to share with everyone, but he did not expect them to always be successful.

We come to Christ to be sent out; and whether times are good or bad, happy or sad, we must continue on our way, tending to the harvest. As we live in a world that is filled with unwelcoming people, we must not get bogged down, but we must become filled with hope for the journey.
