Thought for the Week - January, 2010
By Andy HardingMake 2010 your year!
In the film ‘Amazing Grace’ William Wilberforce (an MP) asks William Pitt (current Prime Minister) how an earth they can take on the slave trade as they are so young! Pitt replies by saying ‘we are too young to realise these things are impossible… so we’ll do them anyway’.
For me one of the greatest things about being a Christian is that I can start each day afresh putting my fears and failures behind me and dare to dream new hopes and vision about how I can change and transform God’s world! I can allow myself to have faith in what is seemingly impossible and ‘do them anyway’.
Often people grow old and wise but lose the determination, courage and fight that people had in their youth. As a youngster you have the responsibility and privilege of shaping our community, our nation and our world for the next generation. What impact are you going to have upon the people you meet? What legacy are you going to leave for your children and your children’s children? What are you going to do in 2010 to make this world a better place?
