I wanna be a world changer
I wanna be a difference maker
I wanna share the love of God and what He did for me

Woah woah

Be a friend to the friendless

Wanna show His mercy that is always endless

I wanna shine the light of Christ for everyone to see

I'm a wanna be

I've met a lot of people who wanna be something. Some wanna be popular, so they attend as many social events as their calendar can fit. Some wanna be financially free, so they save hard and learn to budget. Some wanna be fit and athletic, so they workout regularly and eat accordingly. Some wanna be wise, so they learn and research. What do you wanna be? Is it worthwhile? What are you doing to become that?

Did I make a difference in somebody's life?

What hurts did I heal? What wrongs did I right?

Did I raise my voice in defense of the truth?

Did I lend my hand to the destitute?

When my race is run, when my song is sung, will I have to wonder

Did I make a difference?

As we reach the twilight of our lives will we find ourselves wondering if we made a difference? If we did something of value with our lives? Or will we look back with contentment over lives lived fruitfully, every opportunity to do good fully realised? Now is the time to decide what kind of life we will look back on! Who's life can we make a difference in today? What hurts can we heal today? What wrongs can we right today? What truth can we raise our voice in defense of today? Who that's destitute can we lend a hand to today? How can we make a difference today? I know I don't want regrets so I'm going to get thinking; and doing. How about you?

"The scarlet cord brought salvation

To Rahab's house that day

And it would stand as a picture 

Of the price our Lord would pay

If you're looking for a way out 

Of the judgment that awaits

The scarlet of Jesus' blood

Is the only way"

In our present life we are accustomed to a vast array of options before us. Considering all available choices for a meal can take longer than eating the meal. When purchasing a car, there are more options than I can name. When we're in high school and encouraged to choose a career, the choices available to us can seem endless and overwhelming. 

Securing eternal life is much more straight-forward. There is only one option. Jesus' blood is shed, and offered to us. We accept it or we don't. There is no third option. It's still the only way.
