doing for one can change the world

Do for one what you wish you could do for everyone, Andy Stanley

We can’t change the world, at least not in the ONE big swoop we all dream of, and so we tend to get dispondant.  We think we can’t make a change big enough, so why even try.
But what if we adopted the above attitude each and every day.
What if we decided we would do for just ONE what we so wish we could do for EVERYONE.
{not to be confused with ONLY one….yet one at a time.}
Our pastor shared on this a few weeks ago and it has really settled into my heart, mind and soul.
By doing for just one, you change not only the lives they will one day reach, but you change yourself at the same time.
By doing for one, we are doing more than we could have ever imagined.
Here are some thoughts to keep in
mind as you look for your one.
• Go deep rather than go wide • Go long term rather than short term • Go time not just money
Who is your one today?
What will you do?
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. Galatians 6:9,10

Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2

  1. Love that Andy Stanley quote. God has been teaching me this too recently. I look for big change and feel like I’m not doing enough if there are not huge numbers. But God is teaching me to be faithful to one and to let Him take care of the rest.

  2. This is beautiful Summer! 🙂

  3. Good stuff friend. I LOVE Galatians 6:9-10!
