YOU'RE ENOUGH

"To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often." - Winston Churchill

There were 10,000 prostitutes plying their trade on the streets of London. Binge drinking, gambling all sorts of morally wrong acts were widespread, in the eighteenth century. The UK had descended into decadence and immorality. Church congregations had declined sharply (just as they have in recent times). Parts of the church had virtually descended into paganism. Yet, the nation was changed. How?

The preaching of Wesley mostly, and Whitefield began to take effect. Their work saw thousands of people respond to the message they preached, and as a result encountered Jesus. Robert Raikes started his first Sunday school in 1780. The growth from this one idea touched 300,000 unchurched children within five years. By 1910, there were 5,668,760 children in Sunday school. God raised up Wilberforce, Shaftesbury and others. Not only were individual hearts
changed - but the nation was also transformed.

Irrespective of how morally decadent your environment - neighbourhood, family etcetera - is, you can cause a positive change. Your seemingly "little" acts of righteousness is all you need to cause that change. Difficult? Maybe, but certainly the change will manifest in the end. Let posterity know you passed through the earth. Live your footprints in the sands of time. Let God be proud of you, even as generations after remember your deeds.

Let us pray: Father, use me to cause a change in my environment in Jesus name.
