" it is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you feel you can do so little. do what you can!" sydney smith
with a few fish and a few loaves of bread jesus fed thousands.
with a stick in his hand ( and the faith of thousands) moses parted the red sea and freed thousands from bondage
with one small stone a little boy toppled a giant and helped lay the foundation of faith that millions of us survive on so many years later.
our offering in kingdom life may seem so miniscule that we are embarassed by it. it may seem so small that we overlook it, so tiny that we count on someone else to do it. but we must do what we can!
our nothingness could be the spark that ignites a blaze of life into folks more broken than we.
i personally focus on the big stuff. i cant preach, i cant sing, i cant write, i cant... so i resign myself to doing nothing. the gifts have been given to others, they have the honor of growing the kingdom. i sit back and let them work, so as to not get in their way.
my mindset has been so scarring to myself and to my family. my people have seen me do nothing and in seeing my lack of action they have fallen into the same pit. we have to do something, do what we can.
