WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?
Lately I have been noticing the lack of growth within our society. If you open any social media platform, it is mainly saturated with people bashing other people, half naked insta-models, staged photos, flashy show-offs, etc. Majority of society seems to be taking on the same narrative. Kids are raising kids, kids are killing kids for absurd reasons, families are rarely together at the same time, and social media is making us less social.
WHO WILL STAND IN THE GAP?
My heart cries out for us to mature mentally. We are so puffed up with pride. In order to mature, where would we start? What could we do? I’ve been asking that question a lot lately and have intensified my prayer life to find the answers. What is truly important to us? What roles have we been playing to contribute to demise of our society? What can we do to purge degrading habits? How can we help someone else change? In order to see the change we would like to see we must be it. It starts on our minds. We must see it and believe it, in order to achieve it.
Growing into my 30s, I thought I had my life all figured out and what my next move was going to be. If you read my previous post about how my year started off, you know that as of today, I am in a completely different headspace. It is something about when you fully surrender your will to God. He always has a better plan for your life. If we could get to a point where we surrendered daily and asked God to point us in the direction to be the change, our eyes would be opened, lives would change, and the narrative would shift. We should all be actively working to shift the atmosphere. Matthew 9:37 tells us that the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few. We can’t leave our posts when there is work to be done, Friend.
IT’S TIME
I have been feeling led to step out, speak out, and let my voice be heard on the changes that our society lacks. We shouldn’t just sit back and do nothing at all, while the world crashes and burns. I charge you to pray for our community and do something (no matter how small) that will make a difference. Take your sibling to the park and just talk, call your mom and tell her how much you love her, start an outreach, do whatever you heart is leading you to do. Just don’t wait, tomorrow is not promised to any of us.
