"Follow Me"

If you remember a few posts ago, I talked about Safe Haven. They have a song called Blind that I really like. One of the lines is "give me the means to be the difference." For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to make a difference in this world. I want to make an impact. Not for myself, but for Christ. We are here on this earth to serve Him. We are here to show the world that there is something worth living for. As I think about those desires, I remember that the God that I serve is a big God. He can do the impossible. He can bring sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, healing to the broken, rest to the weary. He can provide food for thousands, he can move mountains, he can raise men from the dead, he can do all things. He is a big God. He is my God. And that same Spirit that raised Lazarus from the dead, lives in me...lives in you.

It's one thing to want to be remembered and to want to make an impact. It's whole other thing to live in such a way that leaves the mark of Christ on the world.

You, as a human, have an impact on people. You choose how you are going to live. You have a choice of what words to say, how you're going to react and interact with people, and how you view others. Whether you believe it or not, you make an impact. It's your choice what kind of impact you are making, but you are definitely MAKING AN IMPACT.

For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works.
Ephesians 2:10

Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me."
Matthew 16:24
