plan


It is so easy to see ourselves as insignificant in a world with billions of people.  However, every one of us is an important part of God's plan! We have been given the directive to change the world, transforming it with His Good News.

"To the world you might just be another person, but to one person you may be the whole world."

D. L. Moody told the story of a man crossing the Atlantic by ship. One night, as he was confined to his cabin due to seasickness, he heard the cry, "Man overboard!" Being so weak from the seasickness, he felt as though there was nothing he could do to help, but said to himself, "At least I can put my lantern in the porthole." He struggled to his feet and hung the light so it would shine out into the darkness.

The next day he learned that the person had been rescued and had told others, "I was going down in the dark night for the last time when someone put a light in a porthole. As it shone on my hand, a sailor in a lifeboat grabbed it and pulled me in."

God has chosen us to reach out and light up lives, no matter how small or insignificant we may feel!

“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’" Matthew 25:21

Are you leaving a mark in your neighborhood? Is it barely seen, or is it bold and permanent? What kind of steps can your family take to make sure you leave the right kind of mark for Christ?
