“Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the LORD, “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson they shall be as wool.”
~ Isa 1:18

Are We Making a Difference? Anyone who has been involved in ministry for any amount of time will have asked themselves this question, “Are we making a difference?” When things get difficult and the odds seem stacked against us we can wonder if what we are doing matters. Consider this, a mom comes to us seeking an abortion, feeling she has no other choice We listen to her concerns and fears, we love and pray for her and yet after she leaves here she still chooses abortion Have we been defeated? NO! We have done exactly what the Lord has called us to do, love those who don’t know Him! We are not asked to be in charge of the outcome, only in charge of sharing Christ’s love This mom calls back several weeks later, broken from the choice she made We continue to love her, as Christ loved us when we didn’t know Him. It’s through this small act of kindness she comes to know the Lord and accepts Him into her heart. The Lord’s plan often looks different than we think it should. Trust HIM to make the difference.
