Perhaps you are very dissatisfied with yourself. You are not a genius, have no distinctive gifts, and are inconspicuous when it comes to having any special abilities. Mediocrity seems to be the measure of your existence. None of your days are noteworthy, except for their sameness and lack of zest. Yet in spite of this you may live a great life.
John the Baptist never performed a miracle, but Jesus said of him,"Among those born of women there is no one greater" (Luke 7:28). His mission was to be a 'witness to the light, and that may be your mission and mine. John was content to be only a voice, if it caused people to think of Christ.
We are doing more good than we know. The things we do today-sowing seeds or sharing simple truths of Christ-people will someday refer to as the first things that prompted them to think of Him. By George Matheson

Hi, Jean,
ReplyDeleteFully agreed. I also desired to be the voice that speaks for God. John was sent by God to bear witness to the Light. I enjoy that the task of a witness is to point to the truth. May we be faithful witnesses that always point others to Christ and nothing else. Life is really all about Jesus. Don't you agreed?
