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
