Most meaningful causes are.
When we are passionate about a cause, we may still be overwhelmed because the task ahead seems so large. Don't let that discourage you. The bigger the task is, the more potential there is to do something great.
The world tries to tell us that our dreams are too big, that our intentions are ill-stated, that our definition of success is unattainable. Those things are true if you're looking through a human-sized lens. I like to dream through a God-sized lens... because He's bigger than me.
I recently met, by "accident," a man that dreams big through a God-sized lens. His name is Pastor Joshua Atieno and he's doing great things through an organization called Stars of Kenya. If you will read his blog you will see that his dreams are huge. And they are coming true every day. If you are able and feel the desire, help him.
Donations as little as $5.00/month are tremendously helpful. In our ultra-inflated economy, we sometimes lose site of what $5.00 can do in other places. Five dollars can't even buy me a meal at McDonald's, but in Kenya it can feed a widow for an entire week!
Create (or find) a cause that's bigger than you. That's one way you can tell that it's worth investing in.
