. . . and whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones in the name of a disciple-- truly I tell you, none of these will lose their reward.
- Matthew 10
It is easy to get discouraged by modern trends in society, and international affairs.
We wonder "What can I do," and want to give up, because the task seems so daunting.
But as so often happens, Jesus wants the best for us. The barriers that we put in the way of our own spiritual development, are our own barriers. If we have not found God's will for our lives yet, chances are it is because we don't want to.
Even if you give a cup of water to a needy child . . . just one . . . you have made an enormous dent in the problem. That one little deed is so important, that it gets noticed by the Master, and contributes to our eventual standing as immortal beings.
And yet . . . for so many of us . . . one small cup of water, to one needy child, is more than we do in a day, a week . . . even a year.
The task is not that daunting. Someone within the sound of your voice needs a little help . . . right now. Develop the ears, and the eyes, to notice. Because chances are they have already found you.
