Is it fair? Is it fair that we can say every person matters... when they are living without food and water, when they have simple diseases that can be cured with better sanitation, yet die because there is no hope? Is it fair that people are born crippled and handicapped? Or that children are abandoned without a parent, without dinner, without clothes? Is it fair that 29,000 children are dying everyday because they are hungry? Is it fair to say that every person matters yet this is the world we live in.
I think we don't understand who they matter to. I think we don't understand our role as believers, as Christ followers, as humans even.
How am I supposed to accept my lifestyle when I could be saving a life?
I think we just have to come to terms with where God has called us right now, in this moment... and how can we in this very moment and place in life be resourceful for the Kingdom... No, it's not just replacing actions with sympathy if we are fully surrendered everyday where we are. Whether that be education-- study to save the world. Or work-- work like you are saving a life. Whatever it may be, I think we just have to do it for Jesus and understand that here we are capable of changing lives across the world.
It won't take away my passion to go... but it will simply conciliate me today. Everyday creating a greater ambition.
