We're living in this world, but are we making a difference?  Are we really making a difference...the kind of difference that Jesus Christ made.  You see, no one ever came into contact with Jesus without being affected.  Some were healed, some were saved, some were humbled, some were enraged...but all were affected by His Holy Life.  Do our lives encourage the downtrodden, give direction to the misguided, convict the ungodly?  Do our words and deeds point others towards the One who makes all of the difference?

Are we impacting others like the Risen Savior?

The fields are truly white to harvest.  The question is...are you a laborer?

Let's face it, some days it seems like there are so many who need reaching that it is hard to know where to begin.  You see, if you look around you today, wherever you are, whether work or school or home...you'll see that the fields are ready to be picked?  But where do we start?  With so many who need reaching for the Lord, can we really make a difference?

I am reminded of a man who was walking along the beach when he noticed that the high tide had washed hundreds of starfish upon the shore.  He realized that they would soon die being out of their natural habitat.  He began to pick up one at a time and throw it back into the ocean.

Two unruly young men came up to him and began to taunt him.  "Why are you doing this," they heckled, "there are hundreds, maybe thousands of them.  Do you really think you can make a difference?"

The man picked up a starfish, threw it into the ocean and replied, "Made a difference to that one, didn't I?"

You, too, can make a difference today! 

Have a "Wonderful DAY in Christ,"
