Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtain of thine habitation: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy sakes; for thou salt break fort h on the right and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles and make the desolate cities to be in habited. (Isaiah 54:2-3)
Everyone has his own world. Your world is your sphere of contact; the people you meet and interact with everyday. Thus, you have your world, and I have mine.
For some, their world resolves around themselves, their immediate family and few friends. You hear them say things like “All I need is just to have a en ough for me and my family.” As a Christian, you can’t afford to say that, because you won’t be thinking like God.
God thinks differently. He said to Abraham, through you all nation shall be blessed.” There are many needy people around us and God has made us the answer to their cry. That’s why you can’t be right just to have enough for you and your family alone. You’ve been blessed to be a blessing to your world.
There’s world out there in need of you. Instead of complaining about the society or government not providing the necessary infrastructures; think about what you can do to improve the status quo. Think about what you can do to make life more comfortable and enjoyable for others.
Expand your world; expand your sphere of contact and let your daily pursuits in life culminate into helping others realize their dreams and goals and build their self esteem.
