Change. and Action.

You know, for a VERY long time, I have known that God is wanting to change things. He wants to not be put into a box, not be confined to church, prayer, or even worship. But to be GOD, the guy you devote EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE TO. He also wants to change our mindsets as well. Now, the big question is, how do we do that?


I've been asking myself this question for a long while now... and I have finally come up with the answer. In order to bring God into other's lives, to show His love, and to truly change your school, church, or even community, this is the key.


You do NOTHING.


Now, before you write me off as lazy, crazy, or any other term, here me out. In achieving most things, this is usually a typical layout:

1) Identify the problem
2) Brainstorm what's causing the problem
3) Find ways to fix the problem
4) Act on those ways, and go.


Here's the problem. We as christians, get so focused on the acting and going. It's hard not to! Especially now, since this seems to be a time of God REALLY working and what not. But, we CANNOT lose sight of Him. The problem is, when we work towards fixing the problem (that is already way bigger than we ourselves could do alone), we begin to ACT. Trying to please God, by our works. Not by our praise, or by our love for Him and His love for us, but by what we can do. What we can get done, specific or not.


Well, here's the key. Love God. Devote your life to Him. Now, serving and acting on what He tells you is good, but it never comes before loving Him with all you heart. Then it says to love your neighbor. Obviously, love and focus on Him should come before and specific task to change the way people think or bring God into the hallways.


It's incredible, when you just ask God to use you. You may not know how He's going to use you, but if your eyes are always on Him, He will put the pieces together. It's so hard not to see the picture of the puzzle and trust that He's putting it together right, but HE IS. So just love Him, be willing, and pray pray pray! Pray for the schools, the churches, and the people. His love for you and your love for Him will overflow into those halls. It has to start somewhere.

Also, chances are eventually, you'll look up and more opportunity then you ever could have thought up in your mind will be lieing right in front of you, and at the time, guess what? You're READY! Because you had been focusing on God, and who He is, you know exactly what to do with that opportunity when it comes.


Love the Lord your God with all your heart.
Spend time with Him, and KNOW Him.
