How Can One Person Make a Difference?

What does love look like? It has hands to help others. It has feet to go to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and sadness. It has ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.

God cares for people through people.

Even the little things you do can mean a lot: A little bit of love goes such a long way! The light of your smile, the kindness of your face, the influence of your life, can shed light on many and have an amazing effect on some people you think might be the least likely to be impressed.

When people feel your love and you tell them it's God's love, they can't help but think, "Maybe somebody up There does love me!" It can change their whole outlook on life.

So many people are searching for love! People everywhere are looking around for some little ray of hope, some salvation, some bright spot somewhere-a little love, a little mercy, someplace where they can find some relief. If you can show them that love exists, then they can believe that God exists, because "God is love!" (1 John 4:8). --D.B.B.

Stephen Grellet was a French-born Quaker who died in the U.S. in 1855. Grellet would be unknown to the world today except for a short prayer he wrote, which lives on:

"I shall pass through this world but once. Any good that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now and not delay it. For I shall not pass this way again."
