Grace Givers Change the WorldThis same Good News that came to you is going out all over the world. It is changing lives everywhere, just as it changed yours that very first day you heard and understood the truth about God’s great kindness to sinners. COLOSSIANS 1:6 NLT Do you ever worry about your ability to serve God, to change the world for Him? In 2 Corinthians 12:10, Paul tells us, “I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” He hated the thorn that plagued him. But in time, he accepted it. He knew there could be no ministry if there was no trial because this life wasn’t about Paul’s strength but God’s. An ordinary person, captured by the extraordinary grace of an extraordinary God, can change the world.
