“Making a Difference” Pastor’s Pen – April, 2024

Do you want your life to make a difference? Do you want to make an impact? You can, every single day. All you have to do is let God work through you.

“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life”

Proverbs 11:30

It’s true: when we live with the Almighty beside us, we find that all kinds of good things flow out from that. Galatians 5: 22-23 lists those good things: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

If we want to make a difference to the world around us, we must allow God to make a difference within us, then let that goodness and grace flow to everyone we meet.

“Now we look inside, and what we see is that anyone united with the Messiah gets a fresh start, is created new. The old life is gone, a new life begins! Look at it! All this comes from God who settled the relationship between us and Him, and then called us to settle our relationships with each other.”

2 Corinthians 5:17-18 (The Message)

That’s powerful and good news. Through His presence and resource of the Holy Spirit, we can truly make a positive difference wherever we go. And of that resource there is no limit.

May your April be full and productive for Christ.

Praying God’s rich blessings to you,
Pastor John
