Wanting to change the world has become more of a cliché nowadays. Most people use lack of money as an excuse for why they are not making an impact in the world.
If we had money or power, we would change the world or at least do better than our current leadership. Today, I want to share with you the only three things you need to change the world.
1. Kindness
I remember four years ago going to work my first job as a gardener. Being new to a foreign country, I was going through one of the darkest periods of my life, feeling unworthy and unlovable.
On the first day of work, I met my boss who told me I was too young to be a gardener. Moreover, she began assisting me with my studies to land a better job. During the following weeks, I met her daughter, an 11-year-old child at the time named Jessica. She used to hug me every time I arrived for work. The hug from a child made me feel loved and valued.
A hug and a few words of encouragement may be worth less to you but they can change someone’s world. Even the smallest act of kindness can inspire hope in other people’s lives. What starts here can change the world.
2. Accept Christ into your life
Kindness is a good thing but it is not enough to change the world. The human heart is the most deceitful of all things – Jeremiah 17: 9. We need a way to keep it in check. Good intentions alone are not enough, we need to surrender our hearts to Christ.
Prayer and the word of God has the power to move mountains and transform cities. “Give your life to God; he can do more with it than you can!” by Dwight L Moody. There will be those who take advantage of our kindness. We need the love of God to preserve and not lose hearts.
3. Be a loving person
The world has a shortage of loving, genuine, and sincere people. As Apostle Joshua Selman would put it, Genuine people are scarce. Be the diamond in the rough, spreading love to those around you.
Most of the time, you don’t need to touch someone on the other side of the world. But if you can touch and change the lives of those in your reach. They, in turn, spread the love to those in their reach. What starts here changes the world.
Conclusion
Money is not all you need to change the world. If you have any of the three things mentioned above, it becomes a catalyst on your journey to change the world. No matter how talented you are, you alone can not change the world. When we come together with the above mentioned things, I guarantee that there is no heart or life we can fail to transform.
