One quote from John Wesley that I don't think we used in this entire series, and it is perhaps his most famous quote, is this: "Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, so long as ever you can."
What I especially like about this quote is that it takes into account the fact that we can't do everything, we can't save the whole world. The problems we face in the world and at this time are huge and overwhelming. We can't solve every problem; we can't do it all.
But we can do something. It may be something very small, but we can do something, and who knows what big thing that may lead to. If everyone does his/her part, if we all do something, something good and positive, even if it is something small, who knows where that may lead.
There was an article in the Wall Street Journal not long ago with the title: "The One Thing You Can Control Now: Yourself." It may seem like we have very little control right now, but we do have control over ourselves and our response.
So use that power, that control, you do have, to do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, so long as ever you can.
Grace and Hope to you,
Pastor Duane
