As I watch the fires destroy LA my heart breaks and I feel so powerless to help. Through my church I was able to donate some items but I still felt like I was doing nothing.

Until I saw all the items the church had collected from the community. It was inspiring to see people come together and help. And it served as a reminder that it’s not about me and it was never about my impact. It was all about God’s power through the community. It’s only through God that in less than 24 hours after the church asked for help, so many items were donated. The impact of God through His people is powerful.

I share this as encouragement for those who are thinking about helping the victims of the LA fires. Whatever you can do will make a difference because God is at work and it will not go to waste.
