There is a high school near my house that has some challenging words to those who go to school there. It says, “leave your mark.” For those graduates entering college or going into the working world, those are great words to live by.
What about you? Are you leaving your mark on those that cross your path daily? Collins, the “Freethinker,” once met a plain countryman going to church. He asked him where he was going. “To church to worship my God.” “Is your God a great or little God?’ “He is both, sir.” “How can He be both?” “He is so great, sir, that the heaven of heavens cannot contain Him; and so little that He can dwell in my heart.” Collins was so struck, that afterwards declared that the simple answer of the countryman had produced a greater effect upon his mind than all the columns the learned doctors had written against him. That countryman said it simply and to the point. The great difference between those two men is that the countryman knew the God of the universe in a personal manner.
You want to make a difference in people’s lives that you come into contact with on a daily basis. The desire is there but how to accomplish that is something that eludes your thinking. Scripture can help you out. “Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31; NASV). That is it. That is how you can make a difference in the world you encounter. Let your every word and action be done in such a way that it glorifies God.
You can make a difference. In fact, that is the very reason Christ put you on earth. To make a difference for Him. Glorify Christ today and every day!
