Written by Levi Lusko, a contemporary author. This is an excerpt from his book “Blessed Are the Spiraling.”
With all the darkness, corruption, and crisis in our world, it’s easy to see how much needs to change. But we don’t enact change by being overwhelmed by turmoil that is outside of our control. We honor God with what we can, not by yelling at the darkness but by lighting a candle and letting it shine… Instead of despair over what you can’t do, ask this question: What can you do? … It is easy to be paralyzed with fear, feeling like you can’t do everything. But you can do something. And when you do, you move from a disempowered state to an empowered one. So, make your bed in the morning and turn the TV off and gather your people around the table. Pile up the phones in a basket, break some bread, and look each other in the eyes. Eat until you are full and laugh until you cry. This is how you change the world.
You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. [1 Thessalonians 5:5]
