Sometime ago, I read about a young boy who was arrested for snatching a woman's purse containing less than ten dollars. Weeks later, when asked by a judge why he stole the money, the boy responded, "Because the world owes me a living." I laughed so hard when I read the story.
Really, one could reason that this poor boy has believed a lie and acted upon it. Ladies and Gentlemen, hear me clearly: The world owes you nothing! You owe the world by giving back to society. The book of Romans 8:19 says, “For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the manifestation of the sons of God.”
Listen, the whole world awaits to see your exploits that will affect the lives of others positively. Myles Munroe once said, “Do not be a generational thief.” Just think about the good things you enjoy today – the Light, Airplane, Car, TV, Internet, Telephone, and others – someone paid the price so you can enjoy it.
What price are you willing to pay to make the world around you a better place? Remember, “It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35). Shalom!
