The hands of Jesus reached out in love to the sick, the blind, and the tormented and broke bread to feed the five thousand. These working hands, which touched the lives of many, reached the whole world at the ultimate price of love. They became pierced on the cross, dripping with blood for our redemption.
We could all be better at interrupting our schedules or putting down the phone to take notice of someone, especially in our homes. Many adults and children aren’t good at asking for our attention like a spoiled house dog. And at a certain point, after many failed attempts, the ones trying to get someone to notice them give up.
Do you want to live a life of significance? It’s simpler than you think. It’s easy to confuse bigger with better and visible with valuable. But what if small, often unseen things, such as a simple gift, a simple note, or a simple prayer, can impact eternity in ways beyond what you can imagine? Believe it or not, by doing small things with great love, we can eternally impact God’s Kingdom for his glory. What could be more significant?
In the interest of keeping an orderly home, when I was growing up, my parents taught me to tidy throughout the day. Because there was always something in any given room that needed to be taken back to its original location, we would pick up things as we moved from one room to the next, transferring them to their rightful place.
Though we often don’t understand God’s timing, He always has a plan to work for our good and His glory. Consider the story of Lazarus and his sisters, Mary and Martha.
