We are all familiar with a few of
these quotes:
“Be the change you wish to see in
the world”
“If you can’t say anything nice don't
say anything at all”
“Be the kind of person you would
want to be friends with.”
But do we ever really do it? Are we the
change? Are we nice when we don't want to be? Are we the friend we always wish
we had? I want to speak one today that has encouraged myself and to DO and can
BE.
(Be
the change you wish to see) This such a BIG and BOLD
statement. Do you know what gets you
there: COURAGE? Taking a step out of our
comfort zone: acting, speaking, teaching, believing and standing up for you.
Act on the things that you want to
see a change in, whatever it might be.
What are your passions? Speak
UP. Don’t be afraid to tell people about
what grabs your heart, what matters to your soul, what you can't go a day
without thinking about, what you’re struggle with, what you would like to see
change. Speak to people about where you are trying to make a change and how God
is leading you through it, this could be personal within yourself or maybe a
cause you want to be a part of. You never know what could come from it. The point is it’s about be COURAGOUS and
taking a leap no matter the outcome or giant knot in your stomach. Now be aware that it may not go how you want
it to go but you have done your part and you have taken a step. Just think your
thoughts and passions could inspire someone, to not give up and give them courage
to take a leap at something they want to change. Speaking up can take some guts
and while at times seems gut wrenching it is also is rewarding! (It just may take you a while to see it) Believing in ourselves that we can make a
change can be the most challenging thing for us to achieve. To BELIEVE means to
accept something is true and real. Believing is what keeps our hearts beating,
having FAITH and believing that we can do something. All we have to do is understand that our
cares, matter. By you just stepping up and doing something about it CAN and
will make a CHANGE. It will also, inspire, empower, and encourage others to
have the same kind of faith and belief you do. “Be the Change you wish to see
in this world”.
Challenge yourselves to quit talking
about it and DO IT! :)
1. Find out what really matters to
your hearts. Spend time in prayer, meditation; however it is that you connect.
Find out what is on your heart.
2. Find out a way to make a change,
(whether this internally or externally.
If it’s externally GET INVOLVED. Im sure there is an organization for your cause.
3. Tell a friend about it.
These 3 things aren't hard to do,
just take a little time and effort but if they matter we will find a way and
time out of our busy days to start ACTING.
Now let's feed our bellies.
