Individuals can make a change

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.
