Reaching Out to Others
I have been amazed by the countless calls our ministry has received
during the years to help churches become more outreach-oriented. Then,
when help is offered, people exert a minimal amount of effort to
continue what God places as a top priority.
Reaching out to others isn't something we should pay lip service to. It should be a top priority of living the Christian life.
It takes determination and commitment to stretch ourselves to help
others, but that's how God wants us to live. God says that when you
truly give and pour yourself out for others, He will use you. "Your
light shall dawn in the darkness and your darkness shall be as the
noonday" (Isaiah 58:10 NKJV).
If you reach beyond your own situation and bring Christ's love to
others, the circumstances you face will fade away and disappear. And
you'll experience the wondrous joy of making a difference where it
counts.
What if you decide to change, to make this the time in your life when
you make a difference? Rearrange your priorities today and reach out to
others.
Prayer Starter: Lord, I want to readjust my priorities and reach out to
others the way You want me to. Help me as I step out with determination
to make a difference for You.
