What Work of Art Will You Leave Behind?

We all want to make a difference. We all have that urgency inside of us to do something great. We have the potential and power to do so, but why aren't we doing it? Do we even realize the actual power that we have within us?

The Bible says that we can do ALL things through Christ which strengthens us. (Phillippians 4:13) Our weaknesses become His strength. He has ALL the power and authority. He gave us all our own mind and imagination and the creativity to do something great.
There is no smallness in God's kingdom. No matter what we do, if it's for Him, it makes ALL the difference. Anything that we can do for Him is a big thing. And He honors the work that we put forth into the kingdom.

God has given each and everyone of us a talent//gift and the ability to dream. I'm reading a book right now (I actually just started it last night) and the author says something that REALLY just hit me. It was like BAM! That's awesome! lol He said:
"The canvas you paint first is your life. Then your life becomes the brush from which you paint that part of the world you touch while you are here on this planet. You are an artist. What work of art will you leave behind?"

We all have a blank canvas in front of us right now. You do, and so do I. Our generation is trying to figure out what they wanna do with their lives. No matter who we are, I believe that we all want to leave something about them behind, a legacy of sorts. We want people to know that we CAN make a difference!

God is calling us to make a difference. Our generation is the generation that will make the greatest impact for generations to come. We all have some kind of gift we'd like to share with the world. Maybe not the whole world. But you can definitely change YOUR world.

Think of life as a blank canvas. If you could make it into anything you want, what would it be?
