God Of Minority

One of the greatest joys that we can have as Christians is the joy of leading someone to Christ.Think of it! You and I can be God's instruments in the salvation of others.

This is not the work of just a few select people. Every Christian is called upon to witness for Christ, and every Christian can be a soul-winner. The Lord Jesus said, "Come, follow me," Jesus said [to fishermen Peter and Andrew] and I will make you fishers of men.” – Matthew 4:19.

Some of us have the idea that our life can't make much of a difference. Sometimes we think, "What can one person do?"

This reminds me of the man who, when walking along the beach, kept picking up starfish that had been washed ashore. There must have been hundreds of them, or maybe thousands. One by one he picked them up and threw each back into the ocean.

A stranger watching said to the man, "Why are you doing that? There are so many starfish on the beach. What you are doing makes no difference."

He picked another starfish and threw it back into the ocean. "Makes a difference to that one," the man replied.

You and I may not achieve such greatness but we can make a difference. We do so every time we stand up for what is right, lend a helping hand to a friend or stranger in need, and help communicate the love of God and the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Added up, our small ripples blend together to reach ever-widening circles. In so doing, one life does make a difference and can make an impact for Christ in our corner of the world.

As Edward Everett Hale said:

"I am only one, but I am one.

I can't do everything, but I can do something.

The something I ought to do, I can do.

And by the grace of God, I will."

"Dear God, I'm available. Please help and use me to make a difference in somebody's life today. Help me to be as Jesus in some way to every life I touch. I make this prayer in Jesus' name. Amen!"

Blessed Day!
