Small Acts (Big Outcome)

Along the way I’ve discovered that it is often small, seemingly unimportant acts that impact my life the most. There are, of course, big moments that have shaped my life (moving out of my parent’s house, my first job, graduating college, my wedding day, etc.); however, there are also many small, unassuming moments that have inexorably changed the course of my life. When I look back at the accumulation of these small acts, I clearly see how they have helped shape my character—simple acts of love that revealed the face of God.  

This realization has brought new meaning to my life. In the past, I erroneously believed I needed to do something big, something powerful, something grandiose in order to impact people’s lives, but God has recently reminded me that more often He uses small, seemingly unimportant acts to change people’s hearts—acts that for just one shining moment reveal God’s heart of love for His children.

So join me as I lay aside my prideful dreams of personal glory and instead allow God’s love to work through me in His way and in His time.

Final Thought: It isn’t always the big outlandish gestures that bring people to God, but God often uses our simple acts of love to reveal His character.
