It starts with you
Unfortunately, when we are discontented with the situation at hand, we may find ourselves just expressing dissatisfaction with that area of our lives, instead of taking the effort to work towards that change we envision.
However, to quote Gandhi, I would like to encourage you to, “Be that change that you want to see in the world.”.
We live in a society where talk is cheap, and actions speak louder than words. I would like to stress that we cannot expect others to change if we don’t take courage to lead by example, to embody and show others what those changes mean. Hence to expect change, we need to embody that change.
I know it’s hard and I know you may struggle along the way, but even if it just starts with you, be that change. Christianity as we know it started with just Jesus and his twelve disciples, and it eventually grew and is growing to be one of the most popular religions of the world.
The current youth community at Maranatha Seventh-day Adventist Church started off with five of us with a WhatsApp group name of “Something that’s going to happen” to a growing and loving community of 29 Youths today.
