I...I just read your post about Jamaica and I agree! It sounds like we both had a pretty radical experience and I am glad that you reached out and left this comment. <br /><br />I love what said, that although we can't change the world, we can be Christ in whatever situation we are in. We will most likely not see the results of such an attitude, but in a world aching for Christ, that can be so powerful.<br /><br />That is a great question to ask about what He can do in me. Just reflecting briefly on that makes me smile because I know that He did something beautiful in my heart even if I think I'm not "doing" enough about what I've seen. I think the desire to "do" something great has overshadowed the desire to be someone great. And you're right, it's His world, not ours! He's just asking for our help.<br /><br />I can't wait to hear more about Jamaica!Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03769749310783037387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5921838522283979268.post-17364950082249036602012-07-31T09:33:59.084-06:002012-07-31T09:33:59.084-06:00I keep wishing it were possible to sit down with y...I keep wishing it were possible to sit down with you over coffee to talk this out. I've been feeling similar about my time in Jamaica, though I don't think Kingston hurts the way India does. At least it has a strong Christ undercurrent to keep it going, and India lacks that. <br /><br />But one strong impression I've come away with is this: I can't change the world, I can't change the way the less fortunate live, I can't change cultures...all I can really do is be Christ in whatever situation he puts me in. Because ultimately, it's His world to change, he just asks for our help. "What can I do" isn't really the question, then. The real question should be, "What do you want to do in me?"<br /><br />And if it's on your heart, never fear: he'll give you some answers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5921838522283979268.post-69186734177911766702012-07-26T10:31:18.718-06:002012-07-26T10:31:18.718-06:00Good!
