In a world that idolizes grand moments—Super Bowl victories, buzzer-beaters, and headlines—we must not forget the quiet, transformative power of small things done with great love.
“In this life, we cannot do great things, we can only do small things with great love.”
Mother Teresa
Greatness Reimagined
Sports history immortalizes dramatic moments:
• Willie Mays’ over-the-shoulder catch in the 1954 World Series
• Joe Montana’s iconic touchdown pass to Dwight Clark in 1982
• Caitlin Clark rewriting the record books in women’s basketball
You probably have your own list.
These are exciting, yes—but in God’s Kingdom, greatness looks a lot different.
The Christian Playbook
Jesus taught that what we do for “the least of these” matters eternally (Matthew 25:40).
When He rescued the woman caught in adultery, He showed us how compassion outranks condemnation.
His love :
• dignified the forgotten,
• healed the broken,
• uplifted the humble.
The Power of Small Acts
Every day we’re given a chance to reflect Christ through seemingly simple gestures:
• Donate unused clothing
• Help someone with physical impairments
• Visit someone in a nursing home
• Join a prison ministry
• Quietly pay for someone’s lunch
These are not just acts of charity. They are spiritual investments—proof of a living faith that moves beyond words.
“When you have done it to the least of these, you have done it unto me.” — Jesus, Matthew 25:40
A Prayer to Reflect
Lord, help me see the sacredness in small acts. Teach me to measure greatness not by applause, but by compassion. Amen.
