Have you ever attended a church service and thought, "Yuck! This church is dead," then attended elsewhere and thought, "Wow! God is there," as you felt personally touched by His presence?



You may have noticed one bragging about how their wonderful schemes got them through difficult situations, and thought them a jerk. Though, you might have been reminded of God's love when someone spoke, with a quiver in their voice, of how God helped them to make it through.



Maybe someone made a list of everything they've ever done for you, as if you owed them. But, when someone said, "You can thank me by loving others in need," it became a pleasure to both give and receive.



Perhaps, you've experienced someone pointing at your imperfections in anger or rattling of 25 Bible verses so loud you didn't hear a word they said. Yet, when someone came off their pedestal to meet you where you were (and taught you how to overcome your weakness, fear, and insecurity), you were set free.



Those who've become the difference have learned a very special secret to their success: give credit where credit is due, I Ch. 29:10-13. Once we get that straight, it's OK to feel warm inside when God allows us to play a small part in it.
