Making a Difference: The Power of One Life
Aug 17, 2022
My Beloved Sisters in the Light,
Have you ever pondered the power of one life to impact the world? Think about the incredible influence of Jesus Christ, His mother Mary, Father Abraham, and even Noah and his family. These were exceptional individuals, but what about us? We might feel like ordinary, simple people, wondering if we can truly make a difference.
Edward Everett, a pastor, orator, and early American politician, wisely said, "I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something."
Can you do something, dear sister? Absolutely.
A single choice to act, especially with kindness, can influence at least one other person. This creates a ripple effect, as that person goes on to touch another life, and the cycle continues. One person can wield considerable influence, and that person can be you.

- For those seeking soul healing, remember the profound impact of Jesus on each of us. In my own reflections on healing, God revealed powerful truths that I've shared in, Connecting to Christ For Healing. You can watch it on YouTube here.
Today, I encourage you to choose to make a positive difference in the life of someone you love. You don't need to be perfect, and you certainly don't need a trouble-free life. Your courage and resilience in the face of challenges can have a positive impact on those who witness your journey.
You are courageous, brave, faithful, and exemplary. Choose to make a difference today and trust that God will allow the ripple effect of kindness to spread and touch countless lives.
With unwavering hope,
Tamara
