Topic: What Others Need Most

The problem of individual hopelessness is a problem eroding our society. Hopelessness is tearing away at the fabric of what has always made America and the free world a place where each person can look forward to better days ahead. The problem of hopelessness touches every one of us in some way. Americans and others in the free world have always believed in the ideal of individual achievement. We have always held up the belief anyone can overcome anything. The truth is we continually foster lifestyles of hopelessness. There is not one American today who is not touched by the idea of there being no Light or hope for people in desperate circumstances. We have become so convinced other people should be responsible for us, care for us, provide for us, arrange opportunity for us, and open doors for us, or entitle us, we are condemning ourselves to darkness and hopelessness without Light. On a personal, everyday level, what others need most is to see Christ's Light of hope burning in you. The people you work with, go to school with, pass by on the street, ride on the subway with, go to church or synagogue with, and especially the grumpy store clerk at the big box store…all need to see the Light of hope within you. Many of these people are dying of hopelessness and you can be their source of life-giving hope.
