Be The Change

What is God showing you?

There's a saying: Be the change you seek. It should be my life's mantra.

Everywhere I look, there are so many things that I see that could be done better, more effectively, more creatively... I have so much that I would like to see improved, implemented, and invented.

I just have to get it through my skull that just thinking about something will not bring about results. I have to put some action with my thoughts.

One of the highlights of my life is a youth event that I started when I was a senior in high school. I wanted to have a night where different youth groups came together and presented their gifts in the arts to the Lord. For about five years I was blessed to see those nights happen on a yearly basis. Our church was packed with young people who came together to praise God. To this day, I still get requests on starting back the youth nights.

This all began because I had a neat idea. I saw something that I wanted to be happening in reality. But I didn't just sit and think on it. I acted on it, put in a lot of work, and saw God move. I became the change that I envisioned.

What things do you see around you that you would like changed? What can you do about them? Scratch that. What is stopping you from doing something about them? If the answer is merely yourself, you need to get up and be the change!

Let's go out and make this world a better place today!

Verse of the Day: Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee... For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:6a, 7
