Our people must also learn to engage in good deeds to meet pressing needs, so that they will not be unfruitful.
When it comes to making a difference in the world, I believe this is the calling God has given the church. Specifically, I desire to help people who live in poverty and often cannot help themselves.
Just do good. That is a goal we can each hold on to. There people like Mother Teresa who said just help someone. Speak up. Share what you have. Realize that it cost you nothing to be kind or to help others know they are valuable.
In fact when we serve others we will find that we have value too. When we realize we have value, we might even find out what our purpose in life is. This has become a revelation for many people I have watched serve through the years.
Find out what you are passionate about and do it. Find ways to meet needs in creative ways. You don’t have to have lots of money or lots of resources to make a difference in the lives of others.
Step up. Step out. Help someone.
Colossians 1:6 NLT
This same Good News that came to you is going out all over the world. It is bearing fruit everywhere by changing lives, just as it changed your lives from the day you first heard and understood the truth about God’s wonderful grace.
The reason why we do this is because God has changed our lives. That same message that changes people in Jesus’ day and is changing us and others. By serving people we win the right to tell them about Jesus.
Now. Go make a difference!
