Abide.

Sometimes it's the little things that make the biggest difference.

Sometimes we try so hard to make something great by ourselves. We might work on it for hours, plan it all out, and micromanage every last detail, but still touch no one.

Then there are the times nothing seems to go right, when everything gets thrown together, and it actually impacts way more people than the other.

It's humbling, really. For all our trying, it's God who changes lives and hearts, not us. It's humbling, but at the same time, freeing. The burden is gone. It's not up to us to figure out the hows and the whats. We don't have to determine the best way to impact the world. All we have to do is be willing and say "yes."

God will do the rest. He always does.

"I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me, you can do nothing" (John 15:5 [NIV]).
