THE POWER OF ONE - YOU’RE THE ONE

Have you ever wished you that you could do more for GOD?
Now you can! And it’s easier than you think. YOU can share the gospel with your family and neighbors.

Don’t have the time? I know, we live in a hectic fast paced world where every moment seems busy. But you could give a book to someone you see during your daily activities. Keep a couple of small books in your desk-locker-toolbox-vehicle. Pray for the wisdom to know to whom to give them. God will put someone in your path.

God has promised to make us strong and able to do bold and daring things-not for yourself, but for Him. I've just recently heard about a song called "Get Out of the Boat". Read the following words of this song thoughtfully:

Peter started walkin' out on the water one dark and stormy day,But Peter started sinkin' when Peter started thinkin' about how he was afraid. Eleven disciples watched, as Jesus reached His hand to help. They saw it, it's true, but they never knew, how walking on the water felt.

Think of John, Matthew, Thomas and Andrew - all safe inside the ship. Maybe they were hoping that they could keep on floating. But oh, the thrill they missed. I know it can be scary, when you trust the Lord that way. But if you never get wet, or get in over your head--you really can't call it faith.

Are you shy? Don’t know what to say? No problem… Just hand them a book and say something like “I just finished reading this book and loved it. I’d like to get your opinion on it.”

Remember, "God's work, done in God's way, will never lack for God's resources."
