Over the last few months, I
have had the privilege of interviewing three great men of God in preparation
for books to be published. I have found the experience thrilling. The way that
God has used these guys is awesome. Men of faith, ready and willing to be used
by Him; having a good effect on the world around them.
But their story is our story too. Every one of us has a story to tell. Every one of us can have a good effect. It may not make a book, but it makes a life – in other words, each one of us has the ability to change the lives around us for good.
Martha Graham says ‘There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost.’
The Bible says ‘God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts.’ (1 Peter 4: 10, NLT).
The Psalmist says we were knitted together by God, secretly and intricately woven. (Psalm 139).
I don’t know who you are, as you read this, but God does. You are unique. And you have a unique contribution to give. I may never read of it; I may never see it. But God does. And your family and friends do. Don’t underestimate to good effect that only you can have on the world around you. (Matthew 5: 16, Titus 2: 7).
