“Do something wonderful, people may imitate it.”

Author: I had quite a few people in mind for my weekly post but couldn’t decide who should go first. Since this is the first person to be highlighted, I’m going with someone fairly obvious and famous. He epitomizes the good Christian.
Albert Schweitzer, born January 14, 1875, spent much of his life seeking to know God and immersing himself in the teachings of the Bible. He had aspirations of travelling abroad as a pastor but later changed his mind. Having a profound reverence for life, he decided that the ultimate missionary work was making life better for those around him. He took on the formidable task of becoming a physician and serving as a “medical missionary” in Africa. Spreading the gospel through actions instead of words, he brought the light of Christ to those around him.
Most of us don’t have it in our agenda to become doctors and travel to a foreign country to help those in need. However, we can learn a valuable lesson from this man: The Lord’s work is in helping others. We can’t change the entire world, but our actions inevitably affect those around us. Whether for good or bad is up to us, but how we treat others says a lot about our relationship with Christ (whether we realize it or not). It’s no insurmountable task to improve our world. We just need to cultivate a love of humankind, and the rest will come naturally.
If you know of anyone, personally or not, living or dead, from near or abroad, let me know about them! I’ll add them to my list of awesome people who I will be highlighting weekly.
