Make A Difference

A lot of us are wasting time worrying when God is pushing us to make a difference where we are. I've been one of the millions (and millions-The Rock voice) of people around the world caught up with "I." I'm tired of people on my job. I'm tired of these bad kids in my neighborhood. I'm tired of people in my church being lazy. I'm tired of these politicians raising taxes when they get to take 5 week vacations. That's us, most to all of us. Complain, complain, complain. But when is the last time we turned our pain into power? When was the time we got the focus off of us and helped someone else make it in life? When was the last time we were good examples on how to maintain a respectable character in the midst of turmoil? We all go through things not just because or by happenstance. We don't go through things because God is evil and doesn't care about us. In all actuality, He does and once we get our heads out the oven, we should tune our ears to His voice and listen. You see, we all have the potential to make a difference. The key is we must now lend (give, submit) our lives to Jesus Christ because He will exponentially increase our potential to positively impact the lives of others. In order to get to this place, something has to give way. A silver cord must be loosed. Someone has to be crucified. Something has to die. If you look at history alone, many men and women laid down their lives to save others and helped change their lives. They had to put themselves aside to make a difference. It doesn't take a lot of money, or a lot of people support, or even our own abilities. It takes people who are submitted to God and empowered by Him to make a difference. Daniel was one of the three top ranking presidents of Babylon. Joseph ruled well as the ruler of Egypt governing the affairs of Pharaoh. Esther made a plea before her husband the king and spared the Jewish nation. Deborah accepted the role of a warrior woman and saved her people from slavery. Jesus Christ laid down His life for us that we may have a life and that more abundantly. Making a difference is needed in today's world, especially in America. My friends, we're in a bad times but this is the perfect time to make a difference. It's time now we seek God the more, put away childish things, remove ourselves from stifling people, plug into the Word, fellowship with the eagles (saints), and walk in our purpose. When we walk in our purpose then we're making a difference. We may never see the accomplishments but it's all to God's glory. We have been given power to effect change in our governments, schools, families, jobs, communities, and churches! Lives will hear, see, experience, and share the awesomeness of Jesus Christ in their lives. But we have to get in place and do what God has called us to do to make that difference. Let's make it happen, captain! Well, I could go on and on but I'll leave you all with this from Jude 1:21-22-23:


"Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
And of some have compassion, making a difference: 
And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh."
