Your task

to build a better world

God said.

I answered, how?

The world is such a large place

so complicated now,

and I so small and useless am,

there is nothing that I can do.

But God in all of His wisdom said,

Just build a better You.

I memorized that when I was but a youth.  It is still with me.  It rings true every time I repeat it.  And is actually more true now then ever before.  Just this morning I reviewed it and found much to ponder.  The thing that comes to me now though is what that 'better you' can really be.  Knowing the truth of that really makes the 'task', the journey, the process, the life meaningful, especially when taken in the context of gospel truths.  Other things matter certainly, but the central task works from the inside-out.  I am blessed to have another day to work on 'it'.  And I hope that with God's help I can 'change' and 'be changed' for the better a little bit every day.  I am just beginning to be able to see what the possibilities really are.
