Up and Out (Part Two) "Practical Ways to live out this faith"

In my last posting it sounded as if you might could save the world single handedly. However Jesus taught that we would do greater works than these. In other words alone we are limited in our impact but together we can accomplish great things for God.

But what does this radical faith look like? Well first let me say that God always meets you were you are. God is a God who takes the least and the small things to do great things.

One of my favorite quotes :

" Do what you can and know that this is enough. You don't have to save the planet. You just have to think mindfully,love deeply and live authentically."

If you live this kind of simplicity what to do, becomes clear. The Love of Christ inside you will guide you into action.

It may be a simple word of encouragement. It may be affirming someone who ordinarily would be invisible. It may be taking the time to connect in a real way with someone who needs their life touched. It may be being the supply to a physical need of food, clothing or shelter. Miracles are sometimes come in ordinary moments and are performed by simple actions. The miracle is defined by the life it touches, you may not even know you just performed one. But the life you touched saw the hands of God, the words you spoke were heard as the voice of God.
