It is also true to say that those who make the greatest difference in this world are often the least widely known: a parent who lovingly raises a child with a knowledge of God; a schoolteacher who manages to say something that sparks a young student’s mind; a stranger who offers some kindness that turns a wandering life around.
Rarely are our acts the stuff of headlines; but they are those little things done as well as possible, under the guidance and inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and dedicated to Christ.
This is what it is to live a life firmly rooted in the knowledge and love of God: to do those day-to-day tasks given to us, and to speak the truth of God with the same power and conviction as the apostles had on that first Pentecost.
