You Have Made a Difference! by Keith Cook
"if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully." Romans 12:8
When our team goes into an area and ministers for Jesus it is always a special time for us, and our entire team puts all we have into the effort.
My most enjoyable job on each outreach is to go to each person on the project and say, "Thank you for giving to the Lord. You have made a special impact on our trip. You have labored, prayed, shared, preached, and done so much for God."
Often I will say, "One day you may be walking around Heaven and someone will come to you and say, "You don't know me and we have never met, but you went on a mission trip and helped save a young boy's life. That young boy became a Christian and that young boy shared Jesus with me. I'm here today because you cared enough to sacrifice and give up comforts for the Gospel's sake."
When you do any work for Christ I believe God often looks down on your service and He brags to the Heavenly Host..."Look at MY child, he (she) has fought a good fight and finished the course."
Have you been making a difference for God in all God has given you to do? If so, then I also want to thank you, just like I thank our team, for giving to the Lord and working for His kingdom.
We all want to do our part till Jesus comes. Look around today and ask God where He would have you make a difference. Find some deed that no one wants to do. Find that mission that no one goes to help. Talk with that person who never has a friend. Make a difference today.
Personal Prayer Focus: Pray for God to give you a vision of what He would have you do next for Him!
