Will youmake a difference? Colossians 4:5

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!

  I have something that has been on my heart yesterday and today I woke with it as well. MAKING A DIFFERENCE!!

   Let me first begin with the story of a starfish:

    

There was a young man walking down a deserted beach just before dawn, in the distance he saw a frail old man.

As he approached the old man, he saw him picking up stranded starfish and throwing them back into the sea.

The young man gazed in wonder as the old man again and again threw the small starfish from the sand to the water.

He asked, “Old man, why do you spend so much energy doing what seems to be a waster of time?”

The old man explained that the stranded starfish would die if left in the morning sun.

“But there must be thousands of beaches and millions of starfish!” exclaimed the young man. “How can you make any difference?”

The old man looked at the small starfish in his hand and as he threw it to the safety of the sea, he said, “ It makes a difference to this one!”

Colossians 4: "⁵ Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man."
    Walk in wisdom - what is this?  It is accepting Jesus and walking with Jesus.
Toward them that are without - talking about people who have not accepted Jesus.
Redeeming the time - use this time wisely, sharing the gospel, telling others.
Let your speech be always with grace -   share in love and with kindness, not harsh and threatening.
Seasoned with salt - let God give you the words that are tasteful and palatable to the listener.
That ye may know how ye ought to answer every man - wisdom, discernment from God so your words will pierce the calloused armor to whom you are speaking.
   Question:   Will you make a difference today?  Tomorrow?  Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
