Difference Makers-

You probably think I’m going to write about people I have seen making a difference in the lives of others.

I could do that!

You might even think I could write about those that have had life changing experiences leading to a difference in their own life.

I could do that too!

But as I write this, I’m really thinking about those that THINK they will never make a difference. They will never be at the forefront. You know…the quiet ones!

They will let others go before them, and never say a word. Let others take the credit (due and undue) for a task well done.

For the ones who love… quietly, compassionately, with a genuine heart and a humble spirit. Never expecting anything in return.

They exemplify the likeness of the Lord in a different way, teaching through their attitudes and actions and abilities. Many times they lead a soul to Christ, by the light that is seen in them!

They are the ones who see the deeds before them and do them before being asked. They are the ones who “live in the shadows” but reflect an image of joy, peace and love!

If you are reading this then you are probably one of those people…

Who me?

Yes you!

Keep doing what you are doing! You will never know the life you WILL change by just being you!

I know who you are and I thank you, (but you were not looking for this) even more, God knows who you are and great will your reward be with Him! No longer “in the shadows” but in the “light of His presence” you will be!
