DO THE GOOD IN FRONT OF YOU

The opportunity God gives you today may not look important. It may be the person who needs a few minutes of your time, the encouragement you almost keep to yourself, the small responsibility nobody will notice, or the chance to show patience when it would be easier to walk away. We can become so focused on finding some bigger purpose that we overlook the good God has already placed directly in front of us.

Paul tells the Galatians not to grow weary in doing good, and then says, “as we have opportunity,” we should do good to others. Faithfulness is not always dramatic. Sometimes following Jesus simply means recognizing the opportunity that is already here and responding with love. You do not have to change the whole world today. You do not have to earn God’s love by accomplishing more. But because you belong to Christ, you can carry His love into the ordinary moments He gives you. The assignment may seem small, but obedience never is.
