“[W]e can accept the fact that this world is full of misery, and we can do what we can - limited though our efforts may be - to be the love of Christ to those who are hurting. To be hope to those who are discouraged. To be family to those who've been abandoned. To be healing for the brokenhearted. Balm for the suffering. [...] It means waking up every day and asking God how you can shed his light into the darkness around you. It means opening your heart to the feeble, the downtrodden, the afflicted. It means speaking up for the oppressed, loosening their chains. The real saints, the ones who are taking God's message of love seriously, are the ones who can see the pain around them, feel the impact of sin, and instead of losing heart or giving into despair, they covenant with God that they are going to push back that darkness. Reclaim the lost for Christ. Resist the decay and pollution and oppression that's brought the world to where it is today. That's the power we have in us[...] It's a big responsibility.” ResponsibilityPushing Back The DarknessResponse To Suffering Book:Policed Source: Policed
