Have our hearts become so focused on ourselves that we've forgotten how to be compassionate to other human beings?
(Mine has.)
Have we been so stricken by fear that we're afraid of anything that isn't like us, or anything that may (or may not) disrupt our little slice of normal?
(I have been.)
Are we rendered speechless when kind words or prayers of encouragement are needed?
(More often than I'd like to admit.)
Do we restrain ourselves, when we should be reaching out?
(All the time.)
What would it look like to break that chain that holds us back?
What would it look like to overcome fear for just long enough to step out of our comfort zones?
What would it look like to reach out?
What would it look like to care for others more than we care about ourselves?
My answers are different that yours. My heart is different that yours, my calling is different than yours.
BUT... if we were ALL to do that, can you imagine how different this world would look?
Each one of us might, just might, impact a life.
Just one. That's where it starts.
It has to.
