Go & Do

It's well past time. Most of us have sat back for almost a year now. Sat in our easy chair
and take it, well, easy. As we now see our world without rose
coloured glasses, we are seeing
life in it's raw & gritty state. Life is no longer veiled in a drape
of our own imagination. Out there we hear about how people are seeing
things they never saw before and then doing something about it. As
followers of Christ, this may be our opportunity to make a
difference just like they did many times in the past.
I wish everyone who reads this will make 2021 the year that
we don't just sit back. But it's time to follow Jesus Christ, and make
it our
mission to bring light to this dark and dreary world. I hear of a ten
year old
starting to raise money for a family going through a rough life changing
situation. Another child writes greeting cards to all the residents of a
long term care facility. Does it take a child like faith to put wings
to all that we can do? Ask yourself, 'what can I do'. Believe
me, if you look, you can do something that will change a person's life. And
just so you know, it could be your life. When we get out of our comfortable chair, you will discover that what you do
changes everything. Something about; "love your neighbour as yourself."
How do I know this? By doing and listening to what others are doing and my bible telling me, 'go and do likewise'. I know this also by opening my bible and reading story after story of life changes in people's lives. The biggest events that I read about are when Jesus talked to others. The women at the well, changed her and her town. After Martha called out her sister, she changed. Nicodemus had his life changed when he received an answer from Jesus. But even greater things happened when all 11 disciples strapped on their sandals and put all that Jesus had taught them into practice and the church grew and everyone had things in common.
Think about it and do likewise.
