Not sure where this post will go.
But i need it.

I am sure most of you have seen the iamsecond videos.
And this is my inspiration.
This world that we live in; it is a mess. People, living their lives, and in their own little world, not looking anywhere else except the next step in front of them. And all the while, people are suffering. Some, rather than simply walking past, will gather stones, and proceed to pick them up, ready to throw. Is this how we were called to live? Are we to compare others to ourselves? To size them up in a moment's notice?
No. We must look around and SEE. Seek out that mother in need, barely making it pay check to pay check, not know how she will feed her kids tomorrow. Seek out that man who's wife and kids just left him because of his addiction. Find the girl struggling in school, the boy lost and confused about life. These people are NOT pretty, or clean, or perfect. They are covered in flesh, and tainted in Sin. And what is the solution?

When they brought the woman to Jesus who had committed adultery, they were ready to kill her; to throw stones at her. And Jesus said, ""If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." And not one stone was thrown that day. Jesus said, 'Go, and sin no more."

The solution is Christ, and a changed heart. Jesus not only forgave her, but said 'Go.' And to sin no more. There was a change in her. And it is only through Christ is that change possible.

Today, we can be obedient to Him, and share the power we have through Him. It can wash away any stain, and bring light to any darkness. For what is darkness, other than the absence of light?

Ask God, 'Lord, who is it that you want me to reach out to and help today?'

I promise, He will answer that prayer.
And as you become a blessing to others, you will be blessed more than you can imagine.
