This is just a quote from George Snyman, everytime I read it I'm just blown away by it.
"If we really want justice, we must wake up. When I look at the devestation of HIV/AIDS in Africa, meet dying young mothers or eight-year-olds heading households, I feel deeply sad, but also heavily challenged:
I know I could make a difference. I know individuals can change the world. Just look at Jesus.
His sacrifice changed millions of lives forever. His followers should do the same today, sacrifice comfort and safety and follow him among the poor and broken."
Everytime I read that quote I feel like I am part of something, realising that I am a part othe body of Christ.
Every part of the body has a unique role and cannot say to another part "I am better"
So it is within the body of Christ, every person has an individual role to fill and none of us are better than another.
I hope that the quote above inspires you to go out and make a difference in your environment today by trying to be like Christ and changing the world for the better.

Equal yet unique
How often do we say "But I dont deserve this, I'm so much better than that!"
Well I hate to break it to you but...clearly the things you go through are just part of life.
God would never give us something that we cannot deal with.
I've noticed that there are many times in my life that I look at other people and think "man I wish I could have just a bit of what they have."
But then I have to come back to my senses and realize that God has a greater plan for my life.
We may not see the plan God has for us but in the end we will see it and be amazed!
I cant remember who told me this but I found it very amusing, "we are all gonna have flat foreheads in heaven one day, cause we gonna see the answers to the questions we have asked and smack ourselves on the head and say 'of course that was the answer'"
We aren't better than the person sitting in the next office, next classroom desk, the guy sitting on the side of the road or anyone for that matter. God created us all equally, and that may not sound all happy and nice to you but get over it!
God created us all equally but also all unique, he took the time to create us all different in our own special way. Nobody in the history of this universe is exactly 100% like you, aren't you happy about that?
Well that enough of my ravings for now, back again soon.
With tons of love from me to you
