Everyone wants to change the world. How often do we actually have a chance to do that? When God opens doors for you and gives you the tools to actually do that, you cannot be passive. When given this opportunity, you must persevere with excellence. Excellence is something we are all called to. Why do anything half-heartedly? If you see benefits to what you are doing, then you have no reason to not do it with excellence. I will not take this for granted. Rather, I will focus on excellence and do everything to the very best of my ability so that we may have a chance to actually change the world. How exciting is that?
God provokes an attitude of awe. It is amazing to actually be able to see the tangible effects of God's working in this world. How can anyone be pessimistic? Pessimism is a tool of satan. Too often we, as the people of God, look at this world, our world, His world, and declare it to be in ruins. We decry society and run with our tails down into our safe and secure bubbles, afraid to interact with this world. Nothing is more destructive to the Kingdom of Heaven than this. Rather, we can help usher in that very same Kingdom of Heaven, but only if we do so actively and with excellence. Do not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest, but only if we do not give up.
His Kingdom come, His will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. It is possible to see glimpses of heaven on this earth, let's work together so that those glimpses can be seen with increasing frequency.
