You must be the change you wish to see in the world – Mohandas Gandhi

I’m a young adult striving to be a real Christian in a world that could care less. Many people say this world needs to change the way it acts and does things. Human beings are becoming wicked and selfish. How though? How can you change individuals and how they act?

I’ve seen Christians  point out mistakes of people or judge people in hopes of having them realize they need to change their ways. NOPE!!!! It makes me sad to see Christians acting nothing like Jesus Christ. I read the gospels and every parable you read about Jesus shows he was an influence. Think about it. When Jesus spoke to the crowds, the crowds were from few to thousands. His teachings had an influence on people. He taught to love others, to help the sick, to forgive others, to not keep grudges, to give to the poor, and not to judge others, just to name a few.

How can you show people this? You be the influence. You offer help to someone who needs it, you forgive those who ridicule you or persecute you, don’t judge others, and most importantly LOVE others as Christ loves you. There’s a saying, you can talk the talk but can you walk the walk?  Don’t sit around and hope the world changes.

You be the change.
