Be the change

"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." Gandhi Interesting to think that with all the talking heads, analysts, and pundits in our world, they really have little chance at impacting society. It is the people who put their selves on the line each day who make a difference. It is those people who "fail", not just some but a lot, who end up changing our world (see bio on Thomas Edison for example). The lesson of the story? If you are passionate about homelessness, get involved. If you feel that education is the key to bringing the less fortunate into the mainstream, get involved. If you want to drink clean water, breath healthy air, eat fish from the local lake, get involved. For someone who "communicates" as a vocation, I have to realize that words can only do so much (actually very little). The real power is in putting words into action. Taking small steps toward making things better for you, your family and our world. Jesus might say it like this, "do unto others as you would have them do unto you." So let's fight for the underpriviledged, stand up for the powerless, care for the needy, and help those who need a hand. (Sounds like an ad for the United Way!) Let us be the change that we long to see in the world.

Making a difference requires sacrifice. Are we really ready to be Christlike? We can all throw money at causes, and say we've done our christian duty. Like Christ, we should have a servant's attitude, serving out of love for God and for others. Ways to sacrifice daily could be to give your time to care for those in your community. Giving your reputation by standing for Jesus. Support those who have a passion for the homeless, the hungry, the addicts on the streets. It's all so much more than the "prayer request". It needs to be up close and personal, bringing the Good News of Christ to those who are lost. If you profess a faith in Christ, there shouldn't be any if's. We are disciples, followers of Christ. It's not about us.....
