Be the Change....

A song often comes on the radio. I know this is an older song, but keep reading. However, I already know that some of my readers do not like John Mayer, but just hear me out and see where I am going with this. As you may have guessed by now the song was "Waiting on the World to change." This got me thinking... Why wait on the world to change?? Why not be the change in the world that you want to see?? I am not sure that our mindset these days is that of someone who wants to change the world, but wants the world to change itself. Newsflash: If we sit back and allow the world to change.. It will change, but is it the change you want? It is the change of continued hatred, racism, violence, and other negative things. Not the change of more love, a sense of peace, or more happiness and joy. As a Christian, I feel as if it is my duty to be "The Change" in the world that I want to see.. If more of us develop this mentality we will begin to see things beginning to change. We can not just preach hope, love, and change. We have to exemplify change in ourselves before everything around us will change. We have to our show our love to others through our actions, words, and deed. We read in Matthew 5:16 "Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and praise your Father who is in Heaven." Last, be patient. Things will not happen in an instant, allow God to work through you and through those you minister to... I believe we can change the world one soul at a time, if we all decide to jump on board and Be the change that you want to see..
