It matters what you do

Whenever my friend Antonio asks others why they did what they did, the others will give their classic reply, “What about the whole world of people who are sinning? My action is not going to make any difference.”

Jesus said that when one person is lost He goes in search of the person and even if one person is found He celebrates. The whole world may be sinning but salvation is about you. They had their chance. Now it’s yours! The salvation of many men hangs on what you choose. They are going to choose their cards by something you are going to guide. It matters what you do

G. K Chesterton says, “We live at the wrong side of the tapestry” what we learn, what we encounter, we don’t comprehend that often it is only an experience for us but a lesson for someone else. It is not given to us the gift to look on the other side, to uncover the veil and know the secrets of every mysterious encounter with life. What we do now, we will never know whom it profits. If we are practicing honesty now, it is perhaps a preparation more for the person we will bump into ten years from now and who will be converted by our habits and conduct. But if we aren’t prepared, he is going to bump into us and life is going to be the same. We have lost his salvation for him.

We cannot delay our growth and our virtue for we delay that person our self can be due to which our friends are never the same again. They found the truth through us but if we don't grow the truth doesn't lie in us. If we are lazy in our growth, we are depriving all our friends of what they could meet know and their encounter with truth. It matters what you do!
