one person, one world

I think we've probably all heard the saying:

To the world you might be one person, but to one person you might be the world.


Remember that one time (a few days ago) in which I said I wanted to change the world? Well, here's the deal. I don't think I have the power or voice to make that happen. When I say this, I picture myself standing on top of the Sears Tower with a megaphone. That's what people think of when 'changing the world' comes to mind. We think we have to have money or fame to make that happen.

Here's how I think we should go about changing this world y'all. I think it takes one person at a time. That person is changed/molded/shaped, and he/she then spreads this 'contagious disease' to one more person. When I stand in front of a crowd and speak, I sometimes walk away feeling unfulfilled, not knowing if I reached everybody, not getting the vibe that they 'got it'. But, you know what? I'm slowly becoming content if one, just one, person walks away with a challenge, walks away feeling moved.

We are Jesus' world. We are his everything. If he sees us in such a way, he challenges us to see others in such a way. If I want to change the world, I'm going to start with just one. One person. Because they are my world.

I can only plant seeds...
