Whatever we hope to achieve in this world—whether it's making a difference in society or simply being a kind presence—God can use even those small efforts to draw others to salvation. Perhaps all we do is lend a listening ear or offer a comforting shoulder, but in God's sovereignty, even these small acts are part of His grand plan to bring people to Himself. We often deceive ourselves into thinking that if we witness someone’s new birth or conversion, it’s because of our own efforts. But in reality, God works through countless ways—many of which are beyond our understanding. It’s almost impossible to explain how the Creator can use such flawed, sinful beings—people like us—to bring others into His saving grace. Despite our imperfections, God’s grace remains sufficient, and His plans unfold in ways that often surprise us. Often, I find myself questioning my own attitude—my impatience, harsh words, or dull demeanor—wondering if these shortcomings hinder God's message. Sometimes, I feel the weight of a negative or discouraging message so deeply that I want to retreat, crawl out of the room on all fours, feeling overwhelmed. Yet, even in those moments of self-doubt and perceived failure, I realize that God's message speaks to me more profoundly than it might to others. The truth is, the gospel is so immense and powerful that it can consume us as well, filling us with awe and humility.
