God can take even a very small act of kindness to make a BIG difference. Helping those in need doesn’t have to be overwhelming. You don’t have to fix all of life’s problems to make a huge impact in this broken world we live in. You can only do so much, but there’s nothing God can’t do. And He wants to use people like you to show his love to the hurting people in this world.
There are so many really big problems right now. There are so many people who are hurting, sick, scared, angry, sad, and all kinds of other bad stuff! When we look at the size of the world’s problems it can be discouraging, but we need to remember that our God is bigger than any problem the world could ever face. You can’t help everyone, but you can help the people that Jesus has brought into your life. Let’s share the love of Jesus Christ with everyone that we meet. One small act of kindness at a time!
