Years ago a man was walking along the beach one morning. He noticed that thousands of starfish had been washed up on the beach. Ahead of him was a gigantic rainbow. At the base of the rainbow stooped a little boy, gazing at an object in the sand. Eventually, he flung the object far beyond the breaking surf.
The man went up to the boy and asked, "Son, what are you doing?" The little boy answered, "I'm throwing starfish back into the sea because if I don't they're going to die." "But there are thousands of starfish. In the larger scheme of things you're not going to make much of a difference to all these starfish." The boy looked up at him, stooped down to pick up another starfish and flung it back into the ocean. "It's going to make a big difference to that one" he replied.
Life is short. Life is full. And life needs you to do your part!
Life is made up of billions of people - all who need the refreshing and saving love of Jesus. Is it a tall task? YES! Will we give up in despair or will we do our part? None of us can “rescue” every human being that needs help, but each of us can do our part.
We can pray. We can encourage. We can share. We can open our lives to others. We can invite. We CAN make a difference!
Will you do it? I trust you will!
Seeking to do my part,
Jeff Powell
