A Tiny Seed, A Tiny Deed

by Max Lucado

“Do not despise…small beginnings, for the LORD rejoices to see the work begin.”  Zechariah 4:10 (NLT )

Against a towering giant, a brook pebble seems futile.  But God used it to topple Goliath.  Compared to the tithes of the wealthy, a widow’s coins seem puny.  But Jesus used them to inspire us…

Moses had a staff.  David had a sling.  Samson had a jawbone.  Rahab had a string.

Mary had some ointment.  Dorcas had a needle.  All were used by God.

What do you have?

God inhabits the tiny seed, empowers the tiny deed…Don’t discount the smallness of your deeds.

Notches

by Vonette Bright

“Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.”
1 John 4:11

When Charlene met someone, she immediately thought, “This person needs Jesus.”
It’s a great thought, but sometimes come with the wrong motive.

Take, for instance, Charlene’s friend, Lisa.
They shared a common interest and enjoyed each others company.
But Lisa was beginning to feel uncomfortable in their friendship.
Charlene told Lisa about Jesus, yes.
But Lisa felt that if she became a Christian, Charlene would score another brownie point and move on.
Lisa finally admitted how she felt.
Charlene had never realized how she’d come across.
She apologized to Lisa and asked God’s forgiveness, too.

Friend, be careful of your motive in reaching out to others about Jesus.
A soul saved is not a brownie point, but someone for whom Christ died.
