Why can't we "be the change we wish to see in the world"? Is it that hard?

Question

Peace and Love

Answer 1

To be the change we want is a decision. Then if you decide to be an embodiment of love as sure as God exists you can be that example of love.

Just please bear in mind that said type of change cannot be generated in ourselves. Your need to remain with God everyday, because he is the source of all love. What you need to do is to give him every day all your imperfect love to him and in exachange he will fill you with his perfect love so that you can share here on the earth with others.

Do not forget that. The strenght of the sheep is not in itself, but in the sheperd and Jesus is the good sheperd. Away from him you can do nothing, but in him there is nothing you can't do.

Answer 2

I really do think it is. Change is a hard thing to achieve. It's so much easier to continue doing what one has always done. Also, the change may involve a change of heart or view on someones part. For some people that is insurmountable. I don't know if they are insecure in what they believe or if they just think blindly that they are always right. Also a change would involve listening to others feelings and opinions. Some people just can't handle it if others opinions differ from theirs.

Answer 3

yes, it is hard to leave yourself behind and consider others first and foremost. This is the vehicle required to be be that change we wish to see in the world.

Answer 4

We cannot be what we are not. We can be only what we are. Because we are humans we cannot be "peace and love". Being human is so much more.

Answer 5

satan is who rules this secular world. People have to break away from the sins that people today accept as "of the norm". Such as out of marriage sex, divorcing just because you've found someone else, when the bible says you can divorce only if there was adultery in the marriage. Drugs and drinking, homosexual relationships,etc. All of these things today as well as murder are becoming considered more and more "of the norm". This is what satan wants from people. To accept sin as normal and make excuses every day for why it's ok to sin in stead of repent of your sins and turn your life over to God. God will turn your sinful minds over to a reprobate mind and no longer hear your cries if you don't change your life and accept Jesus as your savior today.

Titis 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

Romans 1;18-32 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
uncleanness Matt 23:27, Rom 6:19, 2nd Cor 6:17, 2nd Cor 12:21, Gal 5:19, Eph 4:19, Eph 5:3, Eph 5:5, Col 3:5, 1st Thess 4:7
bodies 1st Cor 6:18, 1st Thess 4:4

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
pleasure Psa 10:3, 1st Cor 13:6
