BE THE DIFFERENCE

BE THE DIFFERENCE

If you’re going to see a change around you, there must be a change within you. The way God will make a difference in the lives of your community is if you allow Him to make a difference in your own life first. It’s through character that a foundation of impact is built. If you arrive in the spotlight before you’re ready, you’ll get burned. God wants to use any light put on you to be a light used for His glory.

How does this change within take place? In all the small things. It’s when you decide to be patient with someone, choose to love when you are frustrated, and pray for someone who has hurt you. When you actually live how Jesus lived, your character begins to be shaped into His likeness. You won’t have to “do” anything to make an impact, you’ll only need to “be” who you are and that will make all the difference.

If you want to grow into the likeness of Jesus, here are three conversation starters you can talk with Him about:

  • Ask Him to help you see what He sees, hear what He hears, and feel what He feels

  • Ask Him to help you listen for his voice throughout the day

  • Ask Him for the courage and conviction to make decisions based on His character

I believe you will make a significant impact when you allow Him to significantly impact your own life first. Be bold! There is much to be done!

Remember, with God all things are possible,
