Service at All Saints Church 26th May 11am
So we are facing another General Election; six weeks of campaigning, political broadcasts and promises which may or may not be kept. Some of us are a bit cynical about the government parties involved and we wonder whether anything will ever be any different - will a different party be able to improve things for our country or for us as individuals? Some of us even wonder at the point of voting at all - is my one small vote going to achieve anything?
But of course we should value our vote and appreciate that we live in a Democracy where we have a voice, because all of our ‘one small votes’ add up to something bigger and ultimately something huge! Our one small vote does have the power to change things and to make a difference!
“Do not despise small beginnings” is a lesson the Bible teaches us - all big things come from small beginnings. God rejoices to see small beginnings. Jesus’ parable of the mustard seed is one of the Bible lessons that shows us how the biggest things grow out of the tiniest seed, the most insignificant start. Confucius said: “The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.”
One word, one kind act, one step in the right direction, one vote, one prayer. If we want our world to change, or our country to change or even just our own situations to change, we have to believe in the power of small beginnings.
