Curly, the enigmatic tough cowboy played by Jack Palance in the "City Slickers" movies, had a great quote. He told the New Yorkers to "find that one thing." Of course, he never said what that ONE thing was! For Christians, we know the one thing is Christ.
Let's not grow apathetic in our faith. If we are blessed, we should focus on blessing others. If we are talented, we should focus on serving others. If we are feeling aimless, we should make missions our purpose. Take a step of faith, even a small one, and see what God can do. Corrie Ten Boom once said, "Faith sees the invisible, believes the unbelievable, and receives the impossible." You don't have to be a missionary in the slums of Calcutta for this to be true.
Turn your perspective inside out- it is not about us, but Christ- and you will see amazing things happen in your life and faith. Remember: hang on to that ONE thing!
