Five for Fighting has a great song that asks the "what kind of world do you want"? This is a thought provoking question. Whether or not you agree we all contribute to the world around us. I feel like there are people that take a victim or reactionary stance and believe that things are happening only to them, that it's not necessarily how they've contributed. We all have our role to play...
So,
what kind of world do you want?
What
are you going to do to
make it happen?
What are you going to do to
add benefit and not be reduced to one of the many critical onlookers?
What
role will you play?
One of the last lines of the song is "History starts now". History is being made right now as you are stirred to make this world a better place.
Whether it is literally the world or the area that you influence, you can make a difference. This makes me think of two verses in the bible...
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Acts 1:8
“You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless. “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.
Matthew 5:13-16
What kind of world DO you want?
Make History!
