TO TRANSFORM

In our lives, we are constantly surrounded by people: at work, school, inside our homes. While we focus on our lives, we can, sometimes, forget that there is a neighbor, or maybe even a friend, who has sadness written in their eyes, or is going through hardships and feeling empty. There is always someone who needs help from you and from God.

A simple invitation can change a life. Maybe a, “count on me” could close the doors to suicide. Sometimes just giving advice or saying, “don’t do it" can change a decision to end an addiction.  A simple question like, "can I pray for you?" can bring back someone who has departed from the ways of the Lord. You can transform lives.

God has called us to be the salt of the earth, the salt that will give flavor to what has none. Salt that adds seasoning, that brings out the different and amazing flavors of life. We have the mission to bring color and relish to this world. We are the light of the world. The light illuminates, strips the darkness, it shows what was hiding in the dark. Our mission is to show the way. You can transform the world through the one who loved the world.

When the world judges, love. When the world gives up, rescue. When the world lies, show the truth. When the world is unjust, let there be justice. While the world ignores, show that you care. When the world hates, embrace. When the world standardizes, transform. Do all this, for the honor and glory of God.
