make YOUR difference

though you've probably read this verse before, read it again, for God may want to tell you something through it this time. :)

" Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ' Come, you blessed of My father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food, I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.' Then the righteous will answer Him saying,' Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothed You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?' And the King will answer and say to them, ' Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.' "
-Matthew 25:34-40

what are we doing for the 'least of My brethren' today? do we even realize the presence of these people around us? the quiet girl in your class? she may be struggling through family problems. the irritating guy you know? he may be lonely and desperately in need of a friend. see, the thing is, if all these people around us were Jesus, how much differently would we be acting? maybe what we all need to do is to stop looking at ourselves and start looking at others instead. we gotta love them like Jesus and "wash their feet" the way Jesus washed the disciples' feet. we were called to serve others not ourselves. we never know how much difference we could make by the little blessings we give to others. there's a difference only YOU can make in the lives of those around you today, dare you choose to make it?

know what? i'll tell you a secret!!! :) making a difference in someone's life, by doing little stuffs for em, actually makes you HAPPIER. i'm so serious, tried and tested! :D i believe that when giving becomes more of a habit than receiving that you will realize that it truly is more blessed to give than to receive. so today, take up the challenge. make your difference everyday. say hi to a lonely stranger, buy someone a subway cookie (did i mention i love subway cookies? ;P ), tell your family you love them, write someone an encouraging note or just laugh at the complete unfunny joke your friend made. put a smile on the face of others and you'll feel the joy overwhelming you too. believe it! :D sure it may be a random act of kindness, but so what? let's live life riskily and to the fullest each day!!! :)

let us all show others Christ by loving them the way Christ loves us. :)

and here's something to ponder on
" Being gifted doesn't mean you have been given something, it means that you have something to give others."
