What does it mean when someone is willing to give back or reach out to their neighbor only after they are comfortable having the things they need and want? Is that selfish ambition or an honorable gesture? After all at least they aren’t hoarding all their money, and there are things they could have if they weren’t giving money away. What am I sacrificing to help others? What am I doing for those around me to make my community a better place to live? The feeling of wanting to love people and use the life and time I am given to effect change and in the most beneficial way possible is one that I share with many others. This weekend I had conversations with three different people who all felt persuaded in one way or another to be pioneers of change in whatever way they could in hopes of making this a better world. I can’t help but wonder what the point of making the world a better place to live in for future generations is if we aren’t connected to a source outside of ourselves. Is God inside of every human being because he created them? Is it just that not everyone has recognized him or connected to that source. I believe that there is some good to be found in everyone.
