MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Romans 12:6 NAS
And since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let each exercise them accordingly.

Everyday you see a short excerpt on the news how someone made a difference in someone elses life. A good samiaritian helps a homeless person by providing a job, a place to sleep, and a new outlook on life.

A wealthy person gives millions to help the food shortage in another country. Perhaps you've seen where someone lost all they had in a fire and people step up giving them a place to stay and things to help them start all over again.

I've often wondered if I have touched someones life. Did I make a difference in how they felt about Jesus? About life? Did they even know Jesus before I met them? The Bible says we all have gifts and we are to use them. What are my gifts? How do I use them?

I will probably never know if what I said, or did made a difference in someones life. But I'd like to think that just maybe, I did do something, to lead a person to accept Christ as their Savior. Whether I know it or not my Lord Jesus knows and that is all that counts.

Dear Father I pray that You give me the boldness and words to make a difference in all paths that I cross. Amen.
