Everything You Do Matters To Someone Else

Why can’t we as Christians understand that everything we do matters to someone? Our Christian testimony goes with us in whatever we choose to do.

It would be so wonderful if every Christian could grasp the concept of this picture.

It is much easier to grumble than to take a little extra effort to find something good to say. We would all be much better off if we took some time to think about things before we act or speak; better yet to say a prayer instead of finding fault.

How Would You Act If Jesus Were Standing Beside You?
