Make a difference

19 July 2011

Proverbs 10:9 He who walks in integrity walks securely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out.

It is so good sometimes to just sit and ask yourself what you have achieved during the day or yesterday and then realise that you actually have done many things, some mundane but essential, some extraordinary in a very ordinary day. I always used to marvel at the skill of people doing their work and then understood that each person develops a unique ability to do what they do. I may be able to sweep the leaves up in the garden, but I just do not have the skill to sweep 2km of littered streets each day. God has placed each of us in the situations that we are in with the ability and the talent to firstly learn to do the work and secondly to be able to do it effectively.

So each person has the gift of looking back on a day, a week and a lifetime and to be able to reflect on what they were able to achieve. So many of us have learnt more about what we cannot do and what we have failed to do, that we always live a life of inadequacy, never believing that we were ever good enough. When we comprehend that we can and have made a difference even if it is only a small thing, that difference must be important to us. So each day we should mediate and reflect on what we have done in the day to make a difference for us, as nobody can make a difference like you do.

Be encouraged today to be positive about what you do in the day.

David
