(Acts 9:32-43) The story of Dorcas inserted in a cluster of conversion stories reminds us that in the midst of all else we do, we must never underestimate the importance of ministries of mercy. It was important enough that when Dorcas, a servant of widows, died, we was brought back to life and presented to the widows. Like Dorcas, we are at our best when we simply use what we have in order to minister to others who are in need.
