ONE PERSON CAN STILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE

ONE PERSON CAN
STILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE




“Elisha said-'GIVE IT to the people to eat'” 2 KINGS 4:42


THIS reading
From the second book of Kings
Describes the marvelous multiplication
Of a few loaves of bread
For hungry crowds


And then
We read about
The MIRACLE OF Jesus
Feeding the five thousand
In John chapter 6


“ANOTHER of the disciples-Andrew-
Simon Peter's brother spoke up,


'Here is a boy with
Five small barley loaves
And two small fish
But how far will they go
Among so many?'” John 6:8-9


Plenty far
WHEN you are Jesus
The SON OF GOD
And you can CREATE a miracle


But we MUST REMEMBER
We need NOT be Jesus
We need not be able
To PERFORM large miracles
To make a difference


ONE CAN and does
STILL make a difference
In today's world


We can
GIVE a sick friend
A ride to the Doctor's


We can
Do some grocery shopping
For a house bound friend


There is NO LIMIT
For the things that we can do
TO HELP OTHERS


To make a difference
In today's world


ONE PERSON CAN
And still does
Make a difference
In today's world


For WHAT IF
Our individual gestures and compassion


Our personal prayers
OUR LONE VOICE
For HELPING OTHERS


Was JOINED
By thousands of others
In today's world


For a CHRISTIAN'S
MAIN JOB
Is to
KEEP HOPE ALIVE
In others


And make a difference
For them


“WHY my soul
Are you so downcast


WHY so disturbed
Within me?


Put your HOPE IN GOD
For I will yet PRAISE HIM
My Savior and MY GOD” Psalm 42:5


God makes a difference
In the lives of others
By the GOOD WORKS
He encourages us to do


“NO DOUBT
There have to be DIFFERENCES
among you


To show
Which of you
Have GOD'S APPROVAL” 1 Corinthians 11:19


WE HAVE to be
WE NEED to be
The differences
In this world


The difference
That BRINGS HOPE to another


Our efforts
OUR PRAYERS
Make a differences


NEVER DOUBT
That your “one loaf”
STILL makes a difference


A BIG DIFFERENCE
In today's world
