My Reflections

Making The World A Better Place

PROMPT May 16th

What do you do to make the world a better place?

The world is a better place just because I am in it. Lol I really hope that is true though. I do want the world to be a better place because Iam in it.

I try to make it better by being kind to others. I help people when I have the ability to do so when I see they need help. I try to be a marvelous friend. I tend to draw in those less fortunate. I try to love others the way God loves me.

On WDC, I do a few different things. I offer to pray for those who need it. I write a new Bible study every week. I pray others are blessed by the things I write. I can be painfully blunt at times, but it is truly because I care. If I say it, I intend to mean it. Why waste my energy on something I don't mean?

I have spent a good part of my life taking care of others. I helped care for my grandmother, an aunt, a cousin, and friends. I have lost jobs to help others. I cared for my best friend’s mom when she was sick with cancer. I helped take care of her nieces and nephews. I have cared for elderly acquaintances. I now care for my best friend. I am starting to feel like I need someone to care for me though, lol.

I try to encourage and inspire others. I give compliments to strangers. I look for opportunities to make a difference in someone else's life. There are opportunities every day if we just look for them. I have paid it forward. I have given water to a person on the street just because they asked for it. You have to be willing to help others when they need it. I give and except nothing in return knowing my Father in Heaven has my back.

I try not to whine too much or complain. I try to keep negativity to myself. Everything we do has some kind of impact on others rather we are aware of it or not. I try to keep this in mind. It is so easy to get wrapped up in your own feelings and forget that there are others around you.

I try to be a light in a dark world. I want to see others accept Christ as their Savior. I want to help others grow in their relationship with God. I want to see God work in the lives of other people, and would love for Him to use me to do so. I want to see people healed and strongly experience the presence of the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 5:14
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
