Someone once said, “Everything is a matter of perspective. To one person, it’s half-full; to another, it’s half-empty.”
Youth can change the world—a far-fetched idea or a realistic goal?
Longman Dictionary of American English defines “change” as “to become different, or to make someone or something become different.”
Now, that’s sounds like something plausible. But, the world?
I love the perspective given in Acts 1: 8, “And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
It starts from the ones closer to you and expands outward. But the clincher is in the words before: “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.”
God can change the world and He wants to work through us.
Now, what are we waiting for?

Yeap! I believe when we are young, we have the greatest potential to make a change in the world. When I was young, I had lots of dreams and ambitions. As I grow older, because of our busy life and because of the things that we go through, we begin to dream less. I think what i really think is that we should not be afraid to dream! We have to be daring enough to dream big for Jesus and make an impact in the world!
I think that it’s a realistic goal.
Oh the smallest thing can make all the difference.
Love is alive, don’t listen to them when they say, you’re just a fool, just a fool to believe you can change the world.
We might not realize it sometimes, but the smallest gesture we do, can mean all the world to someone out there.
