Just one

It only took one.
One bite to bring sin into the world.
One woman to birth our Savior.
One man to save humanity from a flood.
One Man on a Cross to save us from death.
Adam, Eve, Noah, Mary, Jesus.
You. Me.
BE THE ONE.
My family goes back to school today. Maybe you’re already in the swing of things. No matter when you started. No matter where you are. You have the option and opportunity to be the one.
The one who celebrates instead of complain.
The one who stops gossip and speaks life.
The teacher who welcomes every student.
The student who sees school as a mission.
The parent who shares good news more than negativity.
FOR THE ONE.
We have to remember that most of our open door opportunities don’t come in the form of crowds or stages, but in the everyday, along the way. In the small conversations and hallway prayers right where our feet are. For the people we walk with everyday. For the one lost sheep who has lost its way.
The one coworker battling health issues.
The one student stuck in a mental valley.
The one Walmart clerk who seems down.
The one who need a little encouragement.
BY THE ONE.
The greatest reminder is this: We don’t have to do it alone. We are positioned to be the one, purposed for the one, but created, saved, and empowered BY THE ONE. The one who marched to the Cross to make a way for you and me. The one who sought you, saved you, loves you, and leads you.
As you go into your school, workplace, and even home today, I pray that you remember your call to BE THE ONE, slow down to see
THE ONE, and remember we do it all BECAUSE OF THE ONE.
