Believe the Change

Are you discontent? I am not asking if you have a good home, family, or job. I am speaking of a situation in your life, your community, your school, your church, your workplace, your family, etc., that is bothering you to the core. What is it?

To a few of you, this may sound familiar, as the concept comes from a book by Bill Hybels called “Holy Discontent.”

Most of us have something that bothers us on a regular basis. Something that we just cannot shake off. It is on your mind a lot. It may come to your mind on your drive to work or as you scan the headlines on your website of choice or your newspaper. You want to do something about it but do not know how.

The cool thing is that you are the most powerful force to make the change in what you are discontent about. This brings us to this week’s quote…

Within you right now is the power to do things you never dreamed possible. This power becomes available to you just as soon as you can change your beliefs.  ~ Maxwell Maltz

You have a change you want to see. Do you believe you can make a change? You should. Maybe it takes Trump-size funding to complete what you want changed. It is likely you don’t have that type of funds available. However, what can you do with what you do have?

What you do have available to you – a voice, e-mail, time to volunteer, prayer, etc. – use it to make the change and believe you can be the change!
