How significant is one?

     I know Easter was two months ago, but it still remains significant in my mind.  The Easter sermon challenged me to think from a historical perspective.  If Easter was erased what would be the implications?- no hospitals, no schools, no dreams, no purpose, no hope, no grace.  It was one decision that changed the world.
     Could my life have the same implications?  I know my decisions don't change the world, but they definitely affect others regardless of what I want or think.  Sometimes I wish I could live on an island and my choices would only affect me, but once again, that isn't true.  It would still affect someone or something in history.  So I embrace that God created me to be in a community of believers.  My choices today are important and will affect someone.  Now it will be my decision to provide a negative impact or a positive impact.
     If we chose not to adopt, what would be the implications?- no paperwork, no fundraising, no interviews, no decisions, no blog.  But my decision could change one person's world.  One more child may hear and experience the love of Jesus.  One more vulnerable child won't be left in the hands of Satan.  One more child won't be stuck in a hopeless situation wandering if God forgot them.  One more child will use their talents and skills to spread the Good News.
     So is a decision important if it only affects one?  Absolutely!  If I was the only sinner, I am confident  my God would died, redeem, and save just this one.
