Faithfulness

"He [God] who calls you is faithful, who also will do it." - 1 Thessalonians 5:24 (NKJV).

"When Robert Moffat, Scottish missionary to Africa,

came back to recruit helpers in his homeland, he was

greeted by the fury of a very cold British winter.

Arriving at the church where he was to speak, he

noted that only a small group had braved the elements

to hear his appeal.

"Although no one responded to Moffat's call for

volunteers for mission service in Africa, the challenge

thrilled a young boy who had come to work the bellows

of the organ. Deciding that he would follow in the

footsteps of this pioneer missionary, he went on to

school, obtained a degree in medicine, married

Moffat's daughter, Mary, and spent the rest of his

life ministering to the unreached tribes of Africa.

His name: David Livingstone!"

Whatever and whenever we do "simple acts of kindness and obedience" in Jesus' name, we may never know until we get to heaven who and how many people will have been reached and affected for all eternity.
