For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many
were made sinners, so also through the obedience
of the one man the many will be made righteous. Romans 5:19
When we trust and obey God, we can more
clearly hear His voice. When we hear and obey his voice, we find fulfillment to
serve not only those closest to us, but it pours out into a heart to serve
others.
Our obedience is not just for our
benefit – it is for the benefit of others. The choices and decisions we make
will impact our family, friends, and the future.
At Catholic Charities, our obedience
directly affects the thousands of families that come through our doors every
year and the thousands of families that will come through our doors in the
future years. We live in a community where our choices make a difference in the
lives of others. It is our responsibility to take care of each other and in
order to do that, we must first choose to hear and then obey the voice of God.
When we trust God and follow Him, He
opens up unexpected but often simple opportunities for us to make a difference
in the lives of others.
· Reassessing our finances may afford us the ability to bless
a family whose father just lost his job.
· Looking beyond our own needs may allow us to see the lawn of
the elderly woman next door that needs mowing.
· Giving an hour of our time to talk with a young pregnant
woman may not only change her life, but the life of her unborn child.
