The world is filled with people who believe that compassion is weakness, that cruelty is power, and that integrity is just another word in the dictionary. Instead of building up others, defending the helpless and doing justice for all, they decide that only money, fame and self interests matter.
Our culture is filled with people who do not comprehend the goodness of God, the beauty of His grace the wonders of His love, or their need of His mercy.
Our culture is filled with people who believe that power must be grabbed, held in a few select hands and abused to promote the good of the few at the expense of the many.
Our culture is filled with people, who just like us, must decide who and whose they will be, and how will they live in light of eternity.
May we remember that we are God's holy and beloved children, created in His image, called to lives of godly sincerity, here to do His will, and made to be vessels and conduits for the justice, compassion, and unconditional love of Jesus the Christ.
