I've always thought that today's generation is a crooked one. Well, the generations before this may be crooked as well, but not as crooked as this one. I can see it in my eyes. I can feel it in my veins. I can taste it in my mouth. There seems to be no way of stopping this generation from becoming more crooked than ever. This is reality. I cannot deny it. I cannot close my eyes and think that things would be just like before. This is the here and now.
But that doesn't mean that I cannot do something. That doesn't mean that I should just watch the world unfold in its crooked ways. No. I can do something. I can still remember the quote that says:
"I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. What I can do, I ought to do. And with the grace of God, I will do it."
This is what I am supposed to do. This is my purpose in life. Though its hard, with all the challenges and temptations this generation brings, I believe that I will be able to go through. Victorious. Because I am not just doing this for myself. I am not just doing this for my loved ones. I am doing this for my God. This is what God wants me to do. To be able to speak out what is right according to His word. I may fall. I may falter. I may stumble. But everytime I stand up from those shortcomings, it makes me a better person. It makes me stronger. It makes me a child of God.
This is my voice. These are my insights. I may not be a good charismatic speaker but I can write better. They may be far from perfect but it gives me joy to know that I have done something in this life that's worthwhile. I've always wanted to make a big change in people's lives in a good way but I am always discouraged by my weaknesses, my fears, and my flaws. I am a pessimistic idealist. But that doesn't stop me from always trying and doing whatever I can do to make this life worthwhile. Not just to make this life worthwhile, but to give glory to God. He is the sole reason why I am here. He is my purpose in life. Somehow, the trivialities of life makes me stray from my purpose but as long as I am alive, I will always continue to fight for what is good. To fight for God.
"...continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose." - Philippians 2:12-13 -
This goes for everyone who is willing to live their lives for God. Use your gifts, talents, abilities, and blessings and give out your very best for the glory of God. What this generation and nation needs is a fervent prayer and worship to God Almighty.
