“If you think you’re too small to make a difference, you haven’t spent a night with a mosquito” (African Proverb). Just because you’re the only one doesn’t mean your presence, voice, or efforts don’t count. An unknown author uses a typewriter’s missing key to illustrate the incredible power of one: “If you’rx having onx of thosx days whxn you think you just arxn’t vxry important, and you’rx txmptxd to slack off, rxmxmbxr this old typxwritxr. You arx a kxy pxrson, and whxn you don’t do your bxst, nothing xlsx around you works out thx way it is supposxd to.” One is not too small to not count. It is not too little to make a difference. And not too ordinary to have an impact. Therefore, don’t underestimate the power of one. God is looking for one person to make a difference. Be that one. (Ezekiel 22:30).—Samuel Koranteng-Pipim
