Will You Make A Difference?


Will You Make A Difference?

"We are required to make the difficult choices if we change our future. We must choose to love others as we do ourselves. We must choose to do no harm rather than promote our own selfish ambitions and desires. Can you imagine how that one principle would change our world if only it were embraced by a majority of the earth's population? We must choose to embody truth in every thought, word, and action. That principle would impact every person that our lives touch. We might not change the world but we would change OUR world. We must choose to treat every relationship justly and impartially. What if we actually treated others like we want to be treated.

We should be challenged as we reflect upon our past. Have we done our best to affect the world around us in a positive manner for the Lord Jesus Christ? The whole of creation is crying out for a change. Are you pleased with the outcomes you have observed or does God's Spirit within urge you to make a greater difference in the time ahead? The challenge is before us, “will we make a difference?” Are we willing to invest ourselves in addressing the woes of our community, our city, our state, our nation and our world?" The Message, p. 152-153, available at Amazon.com.
