Still Enough?

I find myself surrounded by situations and people with great needs. For example, today I'm subbing at an alternative High School in a teen parenting program. I see these students and the path their lives are taking them. What they're involved in seems pretty hopeless. They talk with one another about their lives and relationships and families and homes, and I hear the destruction and discouragement that has marked them. I wonder how "my" God could be what they're looking for, when their world is vastly different from mine. Then I remember that my God is JESUS. He is the One Who came to bring those who "didn't belong". I don't know why I'm allowing myself to get so overwhelmed by this; I guess it just hurts my heart to see so much potential, coupled with so much hurt and then my own spirit and self feeling so small- so ineffective, so inadequate. Oh God, be GREAT in me. Stir my soul with the thought of Christ in me, the hope of glory (and that NOT just for myself, but for each person I encounter).
