in my view, CMP Newsletter (Sunday 12 November)

IN MY VIEW by Pastor Pete
In my view the most significant things happen when someone seeks to serve God and won't be put off. When D.L. Moody found his life in Christ, he looked for some opportunities to teach at a church, but no one wanted to use the uneducated man. He started his own Bible study in a shoe store, and it wasn't long before kids were coming out of the woodwork. People couldn't help but notice him because he was bearing fruit, and few have left such an imprint as his upon the world.
Is there something that God is calling you to do for him? Don't be afraid of starting small. Don't be put off by the seeming lack of opportunities. Start with what you can and be willing to pay the cost of time and effort, and mostly don't forget to bathe it in prayer.
In the end, even if things don't work out as planned, God will smile upon your efforts and you one day hear those most wonderful words, "Well done good and faithful servant."
