Often times I forget how fortunate I am. It is insane how quickly I fall into the life America has made for me. Then I remember my time in India, times when I was in a third world country for only about a week, yet was completely wrecked by how good we have it here in the US. I quickly humble myself and thank God for the opportunities and blessings he has presented in my life. What if I had not been born in America? What if I had been born in Africa, or India? How greatly my life would differ.
Day-to-day we don't think about anyone overseas. We are always only thinking about ourselves, but in reality, there is so much more! We need to be the change. We need to remember those in other countries who are struggling to stay alive, as we are here stuffing our faces with our iPhone's in our hands. Myself included. We need to be the change, and care about people other than ourselves. I challenge us all to make even one small change in order to enhance the lives of those in other countries. I ask God to put it on our hearts to influence those who have no idea who we are, and help us to be on fire to see a revolution in our lifetimes. Only God could make the change I am hoping to see, but I know He is fully faithful and committed to the desires of our hearts, and I know that us working together to be a force for good can change life in other countries as we know it. Join with me and help to remember how fortunate we are and use it for good! Okay, rant over.
