Good morning and happy Thursday. So you wanna know how to impact a life? How to help someone see that everything is going to be ok? Be a part of theirs. Stop being afraid of what people will think of you because of what you've done or where you've been. You never know who is watching you from in the world or from your Facebook.  I think a lot about the stories of Jesus and when He heals someone or some other miracle, what the people around in the crowd are thinking and how many lives changed because of what they saw. Then I think more about the no good sorry people that He hung out with, Zacchaeus for instance. He was not liked among the people. Jesus was very intentional though about having dinner with him and staying at his house. Why? Why this guy? Jesus was setting an example to us that we have to go and be available to all His people. I wonder how many thought Jesus was a good guy then? Well we know the top dogs didn't like it, but that was because they were being shown they needed to get a little dirty to get the job done. They were too pious for that. But some where in the crowd some one didn't listen to the rhetoric but saw what Jesus was about. This person made a difference in others by what he learned from our Lord and Savior. You won't read about him and we don't know who it is, but there are some Christ followers in Heaven because of what he learned and imitated from Jesus. His ministry was a short three years and there are a few really good stories and lessons about lives changed, but there are probably a million other stories untold about others the same way. We are the other stories of life. We are the ones that need to be out getting dirty for others. Living with intent for our Lord so that everyone sees Him alive today. Be an untold story to some one today. I promise they will tell someone what happened to them, only God will get the credit. In love always. <><
