If you haven't heard the loud cheers and the honking horns from the streets of Egypt to your corner of the world; I am pleased to share the news with you! Egypt's President Mubarak has finally resigned! After about two weeks of dedicated protests the people's voices have been heard and it brought about change that would impact the course of history forever. Thank you so much for all your prayers! I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. :)
I remember back when I was a junior in high school a friend of mine once prayed that we would be a generation that will impact the world. I have never thought of that before. I never thought of the big picture as a whole when the youth of my generation would make a dent in this world for Jesus Christ. Thinking through these past few weeks with what has been going on in Egypt and being worried about the people I loved that were still there it got me thinking of the big picture once again and was reminded of that prayer. The Egyptian people were sick and tired of their government not bringing about the change they expect from their country. So they took it into their own hands and started the protests. Of course their cries were heard not only in Taharir Square, but all over the world. When it first started they were just ignored and the government didn't think they would cause permanent damage, but as the days went by the people united together and persistently kept on going. They loved their country and could not bear to see the future of their families suffer through what they had because of their government. They took a stand, took a risk that now has affected Egypt forever more.
It got me thinking, what if we as Christians had that kind of passion for bringing Heaven on earth, to see the lost get found, to continue on "protesting" until our voices get heard all around the world. I'm not saying that we do this in a violent way, or all protest in a square that can fit 3 million people until we get what we want, what I am saying is that what if we all desperately wanted to see change in our world today that we don't stop until we see that happen. What if we all fought for the Kingdom and bring every lost soul to Christ and show the world how amazing our God is. No matter how hard the world might push us down we still seek for a brighter tomorrow just like the Egyptians did. What if our generation devoted our every move, thought, and action fully to our Lord and the overflow of His love for us overflows to people around us; we so long to please no one, but our Creator that we go out of our way to put others first than ourselves. Wouldn't the world see that and wonder what this is all about? Wouldn't that be something that would impact history forever?
Just something I've been thinking about these past few days. Let me know your thoughts on this topic, it would be cool to hear ya'lls responses. Feel free to comment below. Thanks again for all the prayers. :)
