Change the World
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself. (Rumi, 13th century Persian poet)
We have often heard the good counsel that to change anything in our society or environment, we must first change ourselves. Rumi recognized that truth and proceeded make personal change. That’s a challenge to those of us who live in a world where change is often negative. Be a force for positive change.
This same Good News . . . is bearing fruit everywhere by changing lives, just as it changed your lives from the day you first heard and understood the truth about God’s wonderful grace (Colossians 1:6).
