Our world is filled with too much negativity and cynicism. When it comes down to it, I can understand why someone might feel helpless, hopeless, depressed, or full of anxiety. Remember that "the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy" (John 10:10). He comes to steal your joy, kill your peace, and destroy your life.
This world is too big to have people thinking so small. When we think small scale and put self before others no one wins. Yes, we do need to always consider our needs, but we should not allow our ego to get so big as to not help others. We live in a globalized society and Americans need to now consider that it is not just about us. We have many issues in our nation (sickness, homelessness, poverty, debt, and so much more) but as a human race we should consider other people just as much as we consider ourselves.
People complain about their jobs when at least they have a job. People
complain there are no jobs when a recent report addressed over 5 million
jobs in our nation need to be filled. People, it seems, love to
complain. People turn to others and expect them to intervene and attempt
to correct personal and societal injustices. This battle, however, is
also yours. If you're going to talk the talk, you also need to walk
the walk: organize and attend meetings, volunteer, rally others, protest
(peacefully): no limits exist as to what you can do. Don't just sit
there, but do something. Be positive, joyous, and do what you feel you
are being called to do. You can be that positive impact for someone or
some group.
