It can be a customer or a friend or both. It can be the meeting you intentionally set or just someone who God puts in front of you at Starbucks.

Who did you help that ends up directly in your path. Who did you impact today - whether you chose them or not. If you took the time to somehow move them forward, you won! You won the follow Jesus race today. Nice job. That’s all that was needed to achieve greatness. Rest well tonight. Then go again.

So, who was it today?

And why do we have to make it harder than that?
