My pastor always tells us, "Give someone a look, a word, and a touch." I think that is a good place to start, but maybe we need to take it one more step.
We all want to make the world a better place, but often all we do is wait for someone else to make things change. The job just seems too big. So what if we decided in addition to the "look, word, and touch" that we would do at least one thing to change just one person's life?
What if we did that one thing in the name of Jesus, who said that providing physical help would be the same as helping our Savior Himself (Matthew 25:35-36)? What if we reached out to one person with food, or clothing, or transportation? And what if that person, wondering about our motive, asks why we helped? We could then help change that person's life for eternity by introducing him or her to the Savior.
Can we change the world? We can start by changing one life, in Jesus' name.
"There is so much in the world for us all if we only have the eyes to see it, the heart to love it, and the hand to gather it to ourselves." Lucy Maud Montgomery
