something significant

x


a trip across the globe, going to teach orphaned children who don't know love.
that's something significant

//

a step across the room, going to speak to someone who everyone else ignores.
that's something significant.

//

words amplified through a mic, booming out to thousands of people about God's way.
that's something significant.

//

words barely audible, whispered in doubt to a single hurting soul about God's grace.
that's something significant.

//

one lifetime, poured out in self-sacrifice for others who don't really understand.
that's something significant.

//

one minute, poured out for someone that already knows but need a reminder.
that's something significant.

These thoughts are dedicated to a sweet friend of mine who is now seeing the amazing, eternal impact that her short but significant life had on so many, whether she fully realized it on this earth or not. In light of this, let's not underestimate God. A single action, a single word, a single step could change forever for someone. Remember that everything in God's plan is significant.



For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts. // Isaiah 55:9
