Advocating and being a part of change for the better is possibly one of the most thrilling things one can be part of. In this day and age with so much daily devastation, and seemingly endless poverty and starvation, advocating change through our connection to God’s love and the soundness of Christ’s message, is something that gives one hope for the future and connects us to our core meaning in life.
I have recently been reflecting on how I, and other fellow Christians, discover what our role is to engage in positive change and take action. What I discovered in my humble reflection was surprising simple.
I often reflect back to when I was a vocal, passionate, idealistic, and strong-willed 20 year old wanting to shout the word of the Lord from the rooftops— and then to my current (more subdued) life, with new responsibilities and priorities. Being a little bit older, and perhaps a little bit wiser (albeit less spontaneous I suppose), I still want to take action, participate, and orchestrate as much as I can through spreading the word of the Lord; advocating for change that is aligned to God’s will; and from my blessed position of sufficient comfort, help those that are less fortunate. I guess my focus now is to be the change you wish to see in the world (Matthew 20:28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.).
