If you could make a couple of tiny changes in your life that would make a huge positive difference – would that excite you!!

Let’s start by looking at the one degree difference. . . Imagine an airplane being off course by just one little degree: For every 50 miles that plane flies, it will be one full mile off course. If you flew from New York to Hawaii and were off course by just 1 degree – you would miss the island by 100 miles!

In our hearts, we all know why are the little things so important. . . Because eventually, all the little things become big things. Our little choices (both good and bad) turn into big habits that eventually form the heart of our character.

Jesus talked about this very same concept when he told this parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, when it grows, it becomes a giant tree.” Matt 13:31

So how do we harness the power of the little thing?

The easiest way is to choose one little thing that you can do – right now – that will make a positive difference in your life or someone else’s life.

When you search your heart, you’ll know what your “one little thing” needs to be. It may be as simple as a love note, a hug or a phone call. You know what to do. Ask God for help and then make a decision to act on it.

When you improve one little thing at a time – it will make a great big difference for you.
