Now

When you think too much about wanting to change the world, you do no more than fret yourself. If you get caught up in how to do something big and important that will make a difference, you just get caught. You cannot sit and fuss over how to make the world a better place. Just live. That’s all it really takes. Just live your God-given life in a God-pleasing way. Your life is not like a river that you float down slowly, uneventfully with nothing ever happening until you reach the one giant waterfall, your one chance to make a giant change. There are whirlpools; there are logs and rocks jutting in the way. There are wild animals; there are fish jumping all around our boat. There is no need to lie back and let the current dully take you to the waterfall where you can finally do some good. There is no need, because things are already happening around you! There are people on the banks that you are passing by. You could help them now if you weren’t too busy waiting for your big limelight moment. Your moment to create change is not once. Your moment is not going to wait for you to reach a specific age, a specific financial state, a specific anything. Help is not specific. You need to sit up in your boat; we all need to sit up in our boats and not waste any more time looking forward to when we can make a difference. For change doesn’t only come with a giant waterfall; it comes with the slightest of tilts with your oar. It comes when we decide it comes. So let's decide upon now.
