It Just Takes One

It just takes one.  One what?  One for what?  Why only one?  Maybe these were some questions you asked when you saw the title of this blog and this post.  But then again, maybe you didn't care.  Maybe you just shrugged your shoulders and thought, "whatever."  No matter what you thought, keep reading.
One what?  One person.  Only one.  One for what?  Changing the world.  Making a difference.  I'm sure we've all heard this at least once.  "You can change the world!"  "You can make a difference!"  We hear it all the time.  But do we ever actually listen?  Think about it.  I mean really think about it.  Roll it around in your mind.  Taste it.  Take it apart piece by piece.  How does it feel?  Overwhelming?  Cool?  Awe-inspiring?  Ridiculous?  It's true.  You can change this world.  You can change America.  You can save our world, our country, from destruction.  Do you ever get fed up with politics?  War?  Sadness?  Death?  Anger?  Dishonesty?  Commercialism?  Do you ever wonder, what's the point of all of this?  Is something wrong?  Am I the only one that notices that something is wrong?  Something is wrong.  Our nation's leaders have resorted to trickery, dishonesty, and backstabbing.  Our people don't know our amazing history.  Our media is filled with dark, evil things.  Our lives are filled with dark, evil things.  And we don't even care.  Our nation has turned from God.  Our nation appears to be beyond saving.
But!  There is always a 'but'.  It may appear to be hopeless.  But it is not!  I am one.  I am one who is a failure, but one who is saved by grace.  I am one who still sins, but one who has not turned from God.  I am one who still believes in the power of the Light.  I am one who has my whole lifetime ahead of me.  I am one.  You can be one.  It just takes one.  Will you be that one?
