Jason and I spoke last week about being bold. We talked about making the most of every opportunity, and about being ready to minister to whoever God may lay in your path. This past week I had the opportunity to minister to an older man who I did not expect to even meet, let alone minister too.
The point I want to make in this entry is not that I was bold and helped a man. The reason being is because, even though I helped him a little, I still wished their was more that I could do. Jason encouraged me saying, "do everything you can do for him, not necessarily everything you think needs to be done for him."
We can only serve people with the means we are given. There is a limit to what we can do. It is good to remember those limits, and not be disappointed when we cannot do more. That is when we continue to hand the situation over to God. We can always pray, and so I have. I now pray for him often as the Lord continues to bring him to mind. I must trust that God will take care of him. God makes the impossible things possible.
