Justifiedਨਮੂਨਾ

When you're scrolling through TikTok, Instagram, or wherever you get your news, you're likely to come across dozens of stories of injustice happening all over the world. War. Famine. Racism. Sexism. You name it, it's probably happening out there. All too often, it's happening much closer to home than you'd like.

It can be discouraging to see so many stories like this . . . You can start to feel helpless. These are all big problems. It's hard to imagine how you can make a difference in any of them, let alone all of them. It can be so discouraging that we don't even try to make a difference.

That's the thing . . . When everyone is too discouraged to make a change, the only thing that's going to happen is nothing at all. And that's not what the Bible asks from people who care about injustice in the world. You're right to be angry about the bad things happening around you. What matters most is what you do with that anger.

It's true that you can't change everything, but you might be able to change something. Pick an issue, large or small, and start to really educate yourself about it. Find other people and organizations who are working on it in your area and connect with them! You might be surprised at how much can be done when you take the initiative to get involved.

There's a lot of bad happening in the world, but the only way that will change is if we try to do good instead.
