Fired-up, I was walking on my way home from the leadership summit that I attended to. On my way to the LRT station I was contemplating on the things that I've learned on that conference. Then I saw a child selling cellphone sleeves. What I saw moved my heart. I asked myself how I will apply the things I've learned in the summit. At the same time I realized I will never be able to help all the people who are in need. I can never make ALL people come to Chirist, I can never comfort ALL those people who are hurting, I can never defend ALL those who are abused, I can never counsel ALL those who are confused, I cannot stop wars from breaking-out... The list goes on...All of these misery and chaos are all foreseen and foretold in the bible. And ALL of these problems will get even worse as time passes on.
But I can make a diffrence.
It's not about changing the world for it is perishing by the moment and it is destined to be destroyed.
Mark 13:1-213:
1 As he was leaving the temple, one of his disciples said to him, "Look, Teacher! What massive stones! What magnificent buildings!"
2 "Do you see all these great buildings?" replied Jesus. "Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down." NIV
What Christ wants us, his followers to do is to make a difference.
Matthew 5:14-16
14 "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
NIV
By God's grace, let us be the difference in this fallen world.
