Change For God
I have read Christian books, I have gone to different churches, I have traveled to places where people are suffering and in need, God has given me so many wonderful experiences in my life. But so what? What now? How can I utilize these experiences to not only do good in the world, but to change it for God? God calls his body (the church), to be transformed, to change the world for good, to be soldiers in the fight against injustice, and economic inequalities, to be compassionate in the face of need (real need, not the "I need that new iPod need") and suffering, and simply to love. Why am I writing all this? I am writing all this, because I feel the urgency in life. We all have a finite amount of time on this earth. For the past 27 years in my life, I have been idle, watched too much TV, and simply just gliding through, but these days I feel the urgency. There have been times where I felt that fire of change, I felt it in college, but not since. I feel His presence in me again. But He was always there, I wasn't listening to Him all the time. God is always there, but I easily forget the blessings He has done in the past and I often don't think about what He will/can do in my future. I have been selfish about "my now." But I recognize the selfish now-ness of my world, and I want to change my world, the world, our world. Change it for God!
Enjoy,
