I’ve been reading the Amazing Grace biography on Wilberforce. It has inspired me that nation changing is possible. Wilberforce had two goals to reform the nations manners and to see the abolition of the slave trade. He achieved them both. Many people have dreams but few achieve them. I think what was distinct about Wilberforce was that he saw many things that needed changing but he sought out the Lord’s will for his life and the nation. He had always felt a compassion for the slave trade but it was God that called him, if he’d just thought it up himself he never would have acheived it.

I’ve been challenged to seek out the will of God for my life and also what he wants to do in the nation.
