THE SNOWBALL EFFECT
At the age of twelve, Robert Louis Stevenson was looking out into the dark from
his upstairs window watching a man light the street lamps. Stevenson’s governess
came into the room and asked what he was doing. He replied, “I’m watching a man cut
holes in the darkness.” That is a marvelous picture of what our task should be as
sharers of God’s light - people who are busy cutting holes in the spiritual darkness of
our world.
A person once asked a friend who had done him a great favor, “How can I ever
repay you? I’ll be indebted to you forever for your kindness.” The friend answered,
“Not necessarily. If you really want to repay me, keep your eye open for somebody who
needs help as badly as you did and help him. If you’re willing to do this, I’ll be fully
repaid because I’ll enjoy the warm feeling that - through you - I will have helped a
person I didn’t even know.”
That can be called “The Snowball Effect.” A world of 7 billion people could be
won to Christ in less than ten years if each one just won one person to the Lord each
year.
Soul-winning is one beggar showing another beggar where to find bread (Matt.
28:19)!
