A fellow follower of Jesus and brother shared this video. I've heard this song countless times, but it felt and sounded different today. I'm thankful that I live in a time in which I can hear news instantly from anywhere in the world. On some days, this can feel like a ponderous responsibility. I feel the real tension. My gut twists as we hear news about strife close and thousands of miles away. What can I do? My belief is that God's instruction are pretty clear. Loving everyone and everything on this globe is the paramount charge of my life. I mean love by action. A kind word, praying with a friend, and living authentic moments are some of my actions within my control. It's hard. I and maybe you wish to quantify every moment. What did I get? I hear this so many times without the words being uttered.
Take solace, that the action of love may be the only opportunity we have at this moment. I have to acknowledge the energy of selfishness, scarcity, and worry that crops up each day in my heart. I won''t divorce myself from the world. I will find moments to lean in. Lean into love, hope, and possibilities. What do you think? You are a masterpiece. |
