Praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. Acts 2:47
“Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you.”
Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, also known as Mother Teresa (1910-1997).
I really loved this short statement from Mother Teresa about numbers. “Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you.”
I have learned over the years to serve the “receptive” and let God take care of the numbers. Serving the receptive happens one at a time.
Then, the Lord is the One who sorts the numbers, who added to the numbers of the early church and to the work of Mother Teresa and to GTP.
Seriously, click here to see the GTP at 5 infographic. See the meaning of big numbers like 6,986 or 105,932. Because of His love and faithfulness, I resolve to keep trusting Him for provision to do it.
Is God stretching you? Is He leading you to serve a receptive person close by? Is He calling you to trust Him for the provision to do it?
I find that when I look at the numbers He put up in the book of Acts and that He puts up today, it reminds me He can do more than I could ever ask or imagine.
