What does it take to change the world? I’m not big enough. You aren’t big enough.

But love is big enough.

Mother Theresa said, “We can do not great things, only small things with great love.”

This past Sunday our youth pastor challenged the teens to serve others, to change their thoughts from selfish to selfless. That’s not something we can do completely on our own. The trap is that our actions can become the focus. The world is looking for someone to applaud.

But when the motivation is love, it completely changes why you’re doing what you’re doing.

You’d do it even if no one noticed.

You’d do it even if your effort wasn’t appreciated.

So where do you start? Do you pick up a shovel or a hammer or create a website or send a donation?

It begins with the heart. Ask God to help you love others. To show you one thing – one small thing covered with great love – that you can do.
