It is the little things I find that make the biggest difference. Most of us want something big to do something that will feel important. Most of them are good ideas. Perhaps we want to share with the multitudes. Maybe we want to sing a solo that will inspire and move others to tears. Some want to create a program that will alter the lives of the broken and destitute. It is all the better if No one has ever thought of, or designed it this way before. God may have a calling like this for you, but our calling does not begin that way. First God calls us to draw close to Him. It is not about performance and accomplishment so much as it is about relationship. We draw close to God and experience His heartbeat. We learn to move with His heartbeat. Minister to the multitudes? What about reaching out to that woman in the check out line at the grocery, that neighbor who just moved in or has not cut their grass, the babies at church, our own families. Ministry begins with the little things. It is what we do with the little things that defines our heartbeat.
