Dear God,
I think most of us Christians are not worthy of your name. Not too many of us can truly say that we are the followers of the purest Lord Almighty.
If we really did care for and love the one another and the world, we would be less passive. A typical Chirstian goes to church, prays, is always nice to his/her loved ones, and is very charitable with money. That would all be well and good if our role model was someone who did all of those things, and only those things. But Jesus was a revolutionary; he didn't sit around hoping other people would change the world; he went out and did it. Jesus was caring and passionate, witty and loud. He didn't pray piously then sit back and relax: he both prayed and went out into the world. He was no delicate Auntie Annie, he was the face of change.
None of us who dress impeccably for church and give money to the poor can truly call ourselves Christian because we are fulfilling only one part of the requirement: loving those around us. The other one: loving the world and wanting to make it a better place for everyone, we (most of us) completely ignore.
I want to be a part of change Lord, and I am convinced that just praying isn't enough. I want to be the instrument of all the prayers like Jesus was, and still is.
Cheers.
