Reflection

“If you think you are too small to be effective, you have never been in the dark with a mosquito.”
–Betty Reese

Prayer

God of the humble,

We are tempted sometimes to think that world-changing power depends on the title we’ve been given or the salary we make or the number of people we direct. Yet in the ministry you started and that we strive to embody, we’ve seen too much evidence to the contrary. The power to make a difference often comes from the humblest of hearts. So while our offering may be little and our efforts look paltry in the eyes of the world, you have shown us how your compassionate love can magnify the effects of whatever we bring to the table. No matter our role and function today, empower us to make a real difference in the places we live, work, and play. Amen.
