tell about THE ONE

tell about THE ONE


The first day I was with my ISF team before our Kenya trip we had a team meeting. Our leader, Eric, told us something small, but it has stuck with me and I'm not sure if I'll ever forget it.
He said, "You will see a lot of need...a lot of poverty, and hunger, and sickness....and you can't fix it."  We don't have money. We don't have medicine. We don't have food. We cannot meet their physical needs. BUT...the one gift we do have is THE MOST IMPORTANT!

Many times we think "I can't help them, I don't have any money (or food) to give." and so many times, that is exactly what people need - money, food, water, medicine.  
But, their greatest needs are not physical. Their greatest needs cannot be met by man alone. Their greatest needs are not earthly and temporary. 

What they need most - what we CAN give them 100% of the time - is the gift of GOD.
[  the Christmas story; the gift of eternal life; the promise of salvation!  ]
We CAN tell them about THE ONE.
the One and Only. 
the First and Last, Beginning and End. 
the Creator of heaven and earth. 
the Maker of the moon and the stars. 
the Giver of life. 
the Author of salvation.
the ONE who's peace passes all understanding.
the ONE who made the blind to see and the lame to walk.
the ONE who laid down His life for you and me.
the ONE who is HOLY, HOLY, HOLY!

Without THE ONE there is no way we could HELP ONE (because no persons needs could be met) or BE ONE (because we couldn't make a difference to people in need).

TELL OTHERS ABOUT THE ONE!!
