Waiting on the world to change

A few weekends ago at CCF we watched a Christian video to John Mayer's song, "Waiting on the World to Change" and I was surprised and found it slightly ironic. Ironic because he has initiated a movement for environmentalism where the goal is people making small steps toward making their world better and cleaner, through little things every year. He calls it Another Kind of Green.

I was thinking about it today--and the message of that video--that we as the Church can do that as well, for the Kingdom. I sometimes feel overwhelmed when I think about all that needs to be done: all the prayers that need to be prayed, all the captives that need to be set free, all the hearts that need to be moved. But I guess that's the beauty of the body of Christ. Each person, with the help of the Holy Spirit, can use their unique talents and giftings to bring our world one step closer to the Knowledge of God.

None of us has to do it all. And it's so easy to get hung up on that, give up, and end up not doing anything at all. CCF is dedicated to a movement of believers spreading the Kingdom through unique individuals. I think that's what Pastor Russ says each and every time I see him, in some form or another.
Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit corporately and individually so that we can do even greater things (John 14:12).
If all of us were wholehearted about even just one thing, no matter how big or small, it would surely make a difference.
