Making A Difference

Jude .... Verse 22   And of some have compassion, making a difference (KJV)



As Christians, we all want to make a difference in someone's life; how do we do this? As I heard a dear preacher explain it in a sermon, years ago, I will paraphrase it for you.

These are simple steps in making a difference to family, friends, and to the world.......

1. Grow--in the Lord daily.

2. Care--about the condition of the world and the calling on your life.

3. Learn--how God is using you and listen to Him speak

4. Focus--on the Lord and do not become distracted by the world, the flesh, or the devil

5. Strive--for more, by not becoming complacent or satisfied........Always:
    a. Be sensitive  to God's working
    b. Be teachable  by His Word
    c. Be responsive  to God's Will
    d. Be confident  He will work in your life

And, above all else:

6. Stay--Clean  before God, Close  to God, and Committed  to God!

As we continue our journey with the Lord, my prayer is that each of us can follow these simple steps in order to make a difference in someone's life; encouraging others and loving them along the way. We must all let our light shine, in hopes of planting a seed that leads right to the heart of Jesus.
