Here is Someone You Need to Meet

Very often I have heard older seasoned men and women of the church make a statement that indicates they feel they have nothing to offer younger people. That is a great tragedy in so many ways.

I heard a radio commentator announce that a study had shown that in the average lifetime a person will come into contact with over 10,000 people. Not sure how true his numbers or findings were, but I am convinced that we all know a lot of people. The older you get, the longer the list should be.

One of the greatest gifts that anyone of any age can give to another person is to listen to them, understand their needs and then connect them with another person who might have the skills or capabilities to help.

I have felt on many occasions that one of the things that I feel I do best is connect good people and then get out of the way and let God be God. Frankly, I love connecting people and then hearing later that some very significant things are happening and my name is not mentioned in any way.

Regardless of our ages, we have contacts. One of the greatest gifts we can give to someone is an introduction to another person who might be able to help them much better than we are capable.

Think of three people you know and ask yourself if there is anyone you should introduce to them.

These are powerful words to remember and use often—“Please allow me introduce you. This is someone you need to meet.”
