Rebel against your own indifference

I was thinking the other day about the fact that God loves everyone, both those who believe in him and follow him and those who run away from him, curse him, deny him and so on. It says in the Bible that he lets the sun shine on the good and the evil and he sends rain to both good and the evil. When you have found your peace with God and enjoy your relationship with him, it's easy to forget that there are so many people whose lives are in a terrible mess and are desperately looking for a way out, for a better life. So instead of being concerned only about ourselves (if we have enough cool clothes, enough money to satisfy our desires, to buy this or that, or to go places) let's think a little bit about God's love and how he sees the people all around the world. The blood of Jesus is too expensive to let us spend our time chasing vanities.
It's time to rebel against our own indifference and try make a change in every way we can. And like everything else this also starts with small steps. Think for yourself, what are the small steps that you need to take.

"Right now there is the biggest pandemic in the history of civilization, happening in the world now with AIDS. It's bigger than the Black Death, which took a third of Europe in the Middle Ages. Sixty-five hundred Africans are dying every day of a preventable, treatable disease. And it is not a priority for the West: two 9/11s a day, eighteen jumbo jets of fathers, mothers, families falling out of the sky. No tears, no letters of condolence, no fifty-one-gun salutes. Why? Because we don't put the same value on African life as we put on a European or an American life. God will not let us get away with this, history certainly won't let us get away with our excuses. We say we can't get these antiretroviral drugs to the farthest reaches of Africa, but we can get them our cold fizzy drinks. The finest village, you can find a bottle a Coke. Look, if we really thought that an African life was equal in value to an English, a French, or an Irish life, we wouldn't let two and a half million Africans die every year for the stupidest or reasons: money. We just wouldn't. And a very prominent head of state said to me: "It's true. If these people weren't Africans, we just couldn't let it happen." We don't really deep down believe in their equality."
