Christians, "For such a time as this"...

Brothers, Sisters... never feel that you don't have a purpose, or that your existence doesn't matter. 

Your time is now to love and be loved.  Each act of kindness for another has great eternal impact.   Jesus Christ's ministry was only 3 years long, but He impacted all of humanity for all eternity; Abe Lincoln's time in office as President lasted only 2 years before death, and we still talk about the impact he made for freedom for millions of people.  We have been given today, this moment in time... what will we do with it?

The kind word you sow, the smile you give, the hug you offer, the scripture you share, the "I love you" you say to your friend... may have an impact beyond that which you know.  Just one small act of kindness may change a person's life forever.  We each are only given an allotted span of time to be on this earth, "....And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” (Esther 4:14b)
 
"Then Jesus told them, "You are going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light..." John 12:3

"Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people..." Galatians 6:10

"We continually remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ." 
1 Thessalonians 1:3

 Let's make an eternal difference in the lives of others, let's follow in Christ's footsteps fulfilling our purpose... "For such a time as this"  we are born!
