"Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies." – Mother Teresa
You may think that what you do in HD is small…you change a diaper, you hold a child, you demonstrate the dance moves to a room full of energetic elementary students. Nothing that will ever win the Nobel Prize. But those little sacrifices done in Jesus' name are truly grand in light of God’s kingdom. In those seemingly small acts of service is the strength of God's great love pouring through us.
In Matthew 5:21 Jesus gives a glimpse of what He'll say to those who were faithful with the small things: "Wonderful!" his master replied. "You are a good and faithful servant. I left you in charge of only a little, but now I will put you in charge of much more. Come and share in my happiness!"
So, don't ever get down on doing these small things - they are needed, they are appreciated, and they are making an IMPACT! Thank you!
