Radical

I have found that we often look for radical ways to live and express our faith.  We think up schemes involving dramatic change, and grand purpose.  These things are really more about doing something big, we are looking to change the world, to do something with our lives that is worthwhile.  God also did something radical, but it did not make Him bigger.  God renounced all the glory of His own divinity, His radical action was to go from the King of the Universe to a babe in a stable.  From Creator of the Heavens to carver of wood in a workshop, toiling in obscurity.  And He changed the world.  Don't go looking for radical change to feed your ego.  Make the radical change of converting your every day, ho-hum existence into a life lived like Christ's own.  Renounce pride.  Live radically.  Change the world.
