How do we do that when there seems to be so many overwhelming problems in our world today? You see the dying children in Africa, the devastation of hurricanes, tsunami’s, terrorism, senseless killing and general bad news being blasted from our T.V. screens.
That outlook on life is exactly what the devil wants us to have – that everything seems to be hopeless, horrible and meaningless. . The only thing stopping you from making a difference is getting up off the couch and getting involved!
In the Bible God says He has a plan and a purpose for our lives. Looking at all the problems of the world will only dishearten you, but we can make a difference right where we are. It may even seem small and insignificant. You may think the only big difference can be made is by having money. Not so, you have gifts, talents, interests and time that can all contribute to real change.
Maybe you need to challenge yourself.
Ask yourself these questions;
“What is it that I can do to change the world for better?”
“What do I individually have to offer that can be a movement for change?”
“What gifts and talents can I use to serve others?”
Once you’ve discovered what it is you’re interested in and the areas you have a heart for, you can narrow the field down and try to find opportunities that match. It’s amazing the way you can reach people by giving something for nothing.
Don’t ever limit the difference you can make in the lives of others. Let’s be a light for the lost, weary and broken. Let’s be a burning light in this dark world.
