Revival Topics in 2011 Part II

The following thought came from Dan Miller's blog

At least twelve hundred people have been seen jumping or have been found in the water since the bridge opened in 1937.....
..... “I went to this guy’s apartment afterward with the assistant medical examiner,” he says. “The guy was in his thirties, lived alone, pretty bare apartment. He’d written a note and left it on his bureau. It said, ‘I’m going to walk to the bridge. If one person smiles at me on the way, I will not jump.’”Wow – what a simple gift.  How many people did he meet that day?  What if I had been one of them? 

Hebrews 13:2
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
We don't know who is watching. We don't know who is in need of a kind word or a smile. Someone might need a shoulder to cry on. Whatever the need, we need to be full time Christians because we never know when we might change a life for the cause of Christ.

The following are quotes by DL Moody that I found inspiring.
There are many of us that are willing to do great things for the Lord, but few of us are willing to do little things.

Obedience means marching right on whether we feel like it or not. Many times
we go against our feelings. Faith is one thing, feeling is another.

Small numbers make no difference to God. There is nothing small if God is in
it.

I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And that which I can do, by the grace of God, I will do.

I have always treasured the last quote. Like the song is 'Little is much when go is in it', we can accomplish things through obedience to God that we otherwise wouldn't be able to do.
