“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” Martin Luther King Jr.
How do these words resonate within you?
Light and love
One day…
“Let us all hope that the dark clouds of racial prejudice will soon pass away and the deep fog of misunderstanding will be lifted from our fear drenched communities, and in some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty.” Martin Luther King Jr, Letter from Birmingham Jail
How do you lift fear?
God alone is enough
Let nothing upset you,
let nothing startle you.
All things pass;
God does not change.
Patience wins
all it seeks.
Whoever has God
lacks nothing:
God alone is enough. St. Teresa of Avila
How does this inspire you to action or lead to complacency?
How long?
“Hold tight to hope, amidst all unanswered questions for even in uncertainty, there is strength to be found, and grace will still abound in what you do not understand.” Morgan Harper Nichols, All Along You Were Blooming
How do you hold on to hope? Or does hope hold onto you?
Depths
In the midst of storms the lake surface gets rippled and stirred while in its depths it remains unshaken and still.
How do you find that deep grounding?
Presence
“Even as you sit silently, not knowing what to say, your presence is still a gift that shines light in a meaningful way.” Morgan Harper Nichols
Where is your presence needed?
