The "Change Begins with Me" Mind-set

Last Sunday, we went to the 1st year anniversary of the Holy Mass Celebration in a place where we used to live in Taguig. My wife Michelle initiated in arranging for that 1st mass, and I assisted in the choir. During the announcements, I was delighted hear that a Christian Life Program of Couples for Christ will be conducted for the residents starting on Sept 9 in a nearby clubhouse.
We are happy that our simple efforts were blessed by the Lord to bear fruit that remains.

Here are some of my reflections on Initiating:

"If not you, then who?" Everybody is just waiting for somebody to start it. If you really believe in something, might as well be you who should initiate.

"If not now, when?" Procrastination is an element of sloth. There is no better time to start but today. Start to do the little things that will lead to your goal.
Launching something takes much energy and effort. Just like a rocket shuttle, most of the fuel and energy is consumed at launching. But when it is already up there, then it will continuously run with lesser effort.

"Change begins with me" should be the mind set of every Christian. Initiative is a value we hope to develop in the new generation of Christians. We are living in a world where evil is very aggressive. We cannot wait for others if the Lord's call is clear to you. "Here I am! (Gen. 22:1)"
