Changing The World

[The Story Teller]

Changing The World



When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world. I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation. When I found I couldn't change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn't change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family.



Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world.



So live each day as though you were walking with Jesus. Our future will be better for it and you WILL make a difference.

Amen! May it be everybodies prayer to accomplish just that!

Reminds me of what Gandhi once said: "You must be the change if you wish to see it in the world."

We must not seek to glorify ourselves by changing the world, because everything has a first step. And the first step is ourselves, then our brothers as Jesus also said for us to get the plank out of our eyes first before removing the speck in our neighbors' eyes.

Yay.
