The Key to Success
Have you ever felt discouraged about trying to live the Christian life? If your efforts to make a difference in the world seem fruitless, following the Lord’s example can change your outlook. Christ served others in love, and His actions had a tremendous impact on the world. How was He so effective? Scripture tells us that Jesus didn't speak or act on His own initiative but instead depended upon His Father’s indwelling presence to do the work. (John 14:10) The Lord is not looking only for people who are extremely talented or influential. He will use all who are willing to let His Spirit work through them. We can be confident that He will provide everything we need in order to do whatever He asks. We are mere vessels. Even if the impact isn’t obvious, we can trust that God always achieves His purpose.
