Be Their Light

June 16th,

 With great power, comes great responsibility.

  This stands true in life, particularly to arise conviction in those of us who know the gifts we have been given.

  As a young adult with no car, home, job, or degree of my own it's very easy to slide into the lie that I don't have power/resources to make a difference.  If you think possessions equal power to evoke change you are sadly mistaken, I have been given more power to instigate change than most men my age in the entire world.  I have My god, Captain, King & Friend, Jesus Christ, He is not only the single greatest strength I possess but the reason behind my conviction to make that difference I am so capable of.  I have been given health, such a large majority of the world is not only physically sick but mentally lost for whichever means.  I have been given food, family and friends, these in themselves are more than millions & millions of us could ever dream of.  I have been given an education, and an internet to communicate with.  If that were not enough nothing would be.  I know very little of the pain to be experienced in this world and yet I am brought to the point of utter desperation when things are at "my worst".  The need is all but untouchable.  Each one of us has the responsibility in accordance with abilities to reach out to those who are hurting and in the dark and show them the light.  Our age matters not, 1 Timothy 4:12 says, "Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity." This is not a moral goody taken from Stan-Lee's set to our naive "Thou shalts", this is a statement of Christ adopted by hollywood.  Luke 12:48, ...from everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.  My friends, this is neither vague nor ambiguous, it's quite clear.  We have been given much , we will have much asked of us, my question would be will you accept this and lead on?  Luke 9:23, ..."Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.  There are those who are in so much need for the truth, will we bring it to them?
