A friend yesterday told me that his biggest doubt currently is wondering whether or not his biggest dream is something plausible or a silly ambition. He said that he wanted to leave a mark on this world, in history. I don´t know what kind of mark he is aiming for but his life definitely is an example for all to follow.
It makes me wonder sometimes if we sell ourselves short in our dreams. If we only focus on the big large changes and miss out on the small but more important impacts we make on each other.
Jesus gave it all for us. He didn´t think of himself first. He led by pure example and by story. He carried his cross when he really didn´t have the strength to take another step. He took the time to converse with all especially the neglected ones.
Are we losing sight of that in this world? Our focus has become so narrow minded and the word of the day is always...ME. But what about them? A simple smile, a prayer, a kind word of encouragement is all it takes to make some sort of impact on anothe´s life.
So when you think about the word ME, think about Jesus carrying the cross. He died for you, now live for him.
