Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 11 October 2022

 We Are Trying To Make A Difference

 “But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.”

 (Jude 1:20-23)

 

Today’s Morsel: The story is told of a little boy walking along the ocean throwing starfish back into the water that had washed ashore. A man saw him and asked him what he was doing. The lad explained that he was throwing the starfish back into the ocean so they could live. The man said, there are too many of them here for you to make a difference. As the young lad threw one into the ocean he said, “I just made a difference for that one.”

When you listen to someone share their hurts and pain in the Walmart line, at church, or on the job, others may think that you are wasting your time, but you really could be making a difference for that one person. So keep showing compassion.  God’s ways aren’t ours.

 

Sing: What a difference you made in my life, what a difference you made in my life.  You restored all the broken parts, what a difference you’ve made in my life.

 

Thought For Today: “It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.” (Lamentations 3:22)
