I hear people say that they want to make a difference. And I guess there is something inside of everyone of us that longs to do just that. However, I find that no matter how strong a desire that we may have to make a difference, we are so easily sidetracked. A few thoughts I would like to share on making a difference.
"And some having compassion making a difference." Jude 22
1. Compassion
It takes compassion to make a difference. A heart that is broken at what sin is doing the life of the sinner.
2. Compel
To make a difference one has to be compelled to break out of their lethargy and do something that changes the outcome. A strong enough compulsion that makes us forget self and focus on others.
3. Complacency
It is so easy to get complacent; losing sight of what is actually your purpose.
4. Capability
Everyone of us have the ability to make a difference in one life or another.
5. Compensation
There is a great reward for those that make a difference. There is a reward in seeing the wonderful change that you can bring into someones life, but an even greater reward awaits in our future.
