maybe your mind is crammed with dreams dressed as soldiers with courage dripping off their swords. maybe your hands are holding fire, just waiting for the right time. maybe your feet wander far into greener pasture during what you call your in-between moments. maybe with all this talk around living a life un-wasted & creating world change & leaving a legacy, you’ve forgotten what that actually means.
turns out, becoming a world changer might be closer than you think. this is you at your best: walking into a room unannounced, bending low to lock eyes with a one-year-old, pausing to celebrate His kindness in a home-cooked meal, telling her how proud you are, leaving a generous tip, paying attention to the curve in his smile, closing your laptop, kissing his hand, bringing home her favorite candy, sealing an envelope with a handwritten letter, asking more questions, telling her out loud what you know she’s good at, smiling at the stranger you pass on the sidewalk, re-learning why it is he smiles so big when that song comes on, & letting a day’s brevity wake you up inside. so, on your quest to change the world, remember that becoming a world changer isn’t always followed by a loud applause or surrounded by a cheering crowd but it’s glory is in the most unlikely places. world change happens in the places where you give again & again & again & when your pride cries out for a break, you only give more. world change happens when you drop every weight of guilt & grudge & stereotype & selfish motive that only slows you down & for the sake of your best life, you keep on loving. to all the wannabe world changers: step off the stage & pick up the remains of the wisdom left by the ones who changed your world for the better & move forward on their shoulders, all the while leaving behind a trail of moments crowned with faithfulness.
