Imagine a dark room with no light switches and no
electric bulb. Suddenly someone lights a candle and there is little light.
Without wasting much time, others join in and light theirs as well, and soon
the room is well illuminated. When some of us hear, “Ye are the light of the
world,” we ask ourselves, “Can I, this little me, make a difference in this
terrible and dangerous world?” It gets worse when you have a God-given task to
do and while trying to recruit volunteers, you hear stuffs like, “This nation
is bad, and there is nothing people like you can do about it, only God can help
us.”
If you are not sure of who has asked you to go
ahead, you might get talked out of doing what God has asked you to do. But as
small and cheap a biro could be, it can change destinies. Put it in the hand of
a billionaire and let him sign you a cheque of a million dollars. Or, put it in
the hand of a governor and let him award that multi-million dollar contract to
you. Don’t belittle yourself ‘cos mightier, stronger and greater is He that is
in you that the one in this world. Need I remind you that you were made in the
image and likeness of God (Gen 1:26). In other words, the God-kind of nature is
in you.
Bible says Jesus went about doing good (that’s the
God kind of nature). Someone said you are the light of the world, don’t die a
street light. The scripture says, “Let your light so shine before men, that
they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven (Matt
5:16). You can change the world if you would become the connection between God
and the hurting, the hoping, the hungry, the tired, the depressed, the dying,
the crying, or the haunted human you will come close to today.
Be the change – Yes you can!
