“History will be kind to me, for I intend
to write it.”
~ Winston
Churchill
At first
glance, this quote may seem to have an air of arrogance, and some may say that
Mr. Churchill exhumed far too much confidence, but the truth is that everyone
should have a little more of this viewpoint activated in their life. It has
been said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Like so many cliches
the meaning of this phrase has lost some of its power from the disadvantage of
repetition, but this is a biblically based idea. After His resurrection and
before his ascension, Jesus left his followers with what is known as the Great
Commission. “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole
Creation.” (Mark 16:15) In this powerful statement, Jesus is basically saying,
“Be My change to the world.” What we do today will go down in the History books
of tomorrow. We are literally writing History with the way we live our lives.
So many times I doubt that I have a voice. I doubt that I have the ability to make
a difference. I doubt that anything I do now will be remembered in the scope of
eternity. Know this, you can never have enough confidence in your ability to
change the world. What you do every day can influence the eternity of lost
souls. Remember, that as Christians, we are not in the business of temporal. So
today, join me in being the change in our generation for Him.
