Changing the world.

We all, even if way deep down inside,
have a dream, ultimately one that we believe will change the world.
And, even if we haven't dreamed up some big dream,
we have this underlying desire to change the world;
to affect someone, something.

I have a dream.
A pretty massive dream, in fact.
And, yes it entails changing lives & essentially changing this world.

Sometimes though I begin to ponder life,
how I am not guaranteed another day,
which causes me to say to Jesus,
"Don't let me leave this earth until I have accomplished my dream."
The truth is, my dream, it's going to take some time to accomplish.
I can't just go out today & make it happen.
Which, as I said, ultimately makes me ask Jesus for that precious thing called time to make it happen.

As I pondered this the other day, as I do most days,
Jesus brought to my attention that even though I am not promised another day,
I do have today.
I can't go through life just thinking about this big dream I have, that is going to take time to accomplish.
I have to also think about the here and now.
The everyday person I cross paths with daily.
I DO have the opportunity to affect their lives,
& in turn affect the world.

See guys, it's just that one life you touch,
that one life, ultimately changes the world.
Don't take for granted the moments you have right now,
all around you,
to change the world.

Hold fast to that big dream of yours,
but never lose sight of the little dreams surrounding you daily.
There are so many people waiting to be changed,
waiting for that hope.
You can be that hope, that change.

Just touch one,
and you touch the world.

Peace. Love. Joy.
