SHE DID WHAT SHE COULD AND DIDN'T WAIT TO BE INVITED.

We all know the story of Mary (sister to Martha and Lazarus) who in Mark 14:3-9 poured out oil on Jesus. Verse 8 says "she did what she could."

What if we all did what we could? What are we waiting for?

John Maxwell said "Too many people stand on the dock waiting. They want the ship in place, the gangplank perfectly positioned, the weather right and an engraved invitation."

Maybe we think we have nothing to offer or what we have is no big deal, but when we put in in Jesus' hands it becomes enough. Our limitations can bring glory to God as they provide platforms for Him to do something that has no other explanation but God.

Not only does God call us; He also equips us, sustains us and empowers us. Anything less is a Christless Christianity. Perhaps we need to grab hold of the reality that what God has equipped us to do, He has already invited us to do.

Lisa Bevere said "Any gift, ability or talent we have is given to us to improve and enhance the lives of others. There is something within you that this world desperately needs."

What one thing can we do now that no-one has invited us to do? Have coffee with another mum? Make someone a cake? Send a card? Babysit?

Imagine what could happen if we all did what we could, right NOW!

Have a great Easter, let's not forget what Jesus did for us. Easter is a great opportunity to invite family and friends who don't usually attend church to share this special time of the year.
