You Have Great Impact December 18th, 2023

“If you think you’re too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito in your room.” - Anita Roddick

Mosquitos are insistent. They are heat-seeking missiles that find a way to buzz around your head any time you give them a chance. Unless you actually send them to the Promised Land, they don’t seem to quit. They have a definite impact!

Sometimes as women, we tend to think that if we’re not in charge of a meeting, or organizing a group, then our work is not important. We have devalued ourselves because we’re playing a game of comparisons. After all, life is a competition.

Think about it. Think about the things you have done for others that might seem small, but had a big impact. Maybe it was the time you picked up your friend’s child at school when she just couldn’t get there in time. What about the way you prayed for your neighbor when she was having a family crisis? These are all small things, but they are great in God’s kingdom. These are the things that show Him your generous heart and loving spirit. These are the things that matter.

“The Lord’s eyes see everything; He watched both evil and good people.” - Proverbs 15:3 NCV

Let us pray: Lord, we know how much it means to us when someone helps us at a moment's notice. Help us be willing to give what we can in service to those around us today. Father God, hear our prayers of intentions from today, from our prayer wall and for any unmentioned prayers in our hearts.. In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.
