The Way John 14:12–14

One of my great heroes of the faith is a pastor I knew in Kansas. He often served as a volunteer on our camp staff. One year he arrived late because he had stopped to help someone who’s car had overheated. He gave the travelers some water and got them back on their way.

When he arrived at camp he apologized for being late. He brought out bags of fresh bread and gave them to camp staff members. He unloaded cases of bottled water he brought for campers. Then he showed us wooden crosses he had carved in his woodshop as gifts for the graduating seniors. When the camp’s Golden Retriever trotted up to greet him, he reached into a pocket filled with dog treats and gently handed one to the old dog. We marveled at the intentional love of this faithful disciple.

We can help others to know God by seeking to do God’s works in the world. No matter how small they may seem to us, they will leave great impact.
