MAKING A DIFFERENCE

2 Corinthians 5:20 NLT So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!”

I heard this quote the other day, “What you do today, is more important than what you’re going to do tomorrow because you can make a difference in someone’s life today.” None of us has tomorrow guaranteed to us, so the moral of the story is for us all to make the most of the time we have now and bring Jesus with us wherever we go.

Just coming into a situation at work or in the family, we can bring His joy and peace into it by being in tune with what the Holy Spirit is wanting to do at any given moment.

Maybe we sometimes forget that we’re ambassadors for the Lord Jesus and we represent Him wherever we go. The lovely thing is God says He’s put rivers of living waters on the inside of us, so it can bubble up and bless people. All we have to do is be listening and remember we’re channels of His grace and blessings, and He will do the rest.

Just by being kind, or giving someone an encouraging smile can make all the difference to a lonely or discouraged person. Asda did a survey recently and many people over the age of 60 never talk to another person for days on end, they’re so lonely. So when we go shopping, or walking the dog, the Holy Spirit might just give us a nudge to take the time to stop and chat with someone and lift their day.

What a lovely thought that we can go out this week and make a difference in someone’s life and give them hope that life is worth living. 

Have a blessed week.😊
