When the whole world seems to have stopped spinning, it takes You. When you turn on the news or check your phone and see that the world has lost its mind, it takes You.
Life has a funny way of seeming so simple, and yet so difficult and confusing. There will always be days like today where you come to realize that everything you thought was obvious is clouded in mystery. When we see law and justice prevail, and cities begin to burn, that is the exact moment when speaking out is not enough. What if we write, what if we protest, what if we riot? But what if we care, what if we cry out, what if we praise?
Fear is learned at a young age, but it is weaponized as a teen. There are times when it engulfs and conquers all, but should it? What if we begin to realize that the weapon of fear formed against us can be seized, turned around, and used as the spearhead of change and unity? What if the fear of the whole world running towards a cliff is precisely what You need to turn hearts and minds to hope?
See, when all optimism and expectation has seemingly failed, it takes You. When strength wanes and your head hangs in depression and defeat, it takes You. So, tell me, at what point are you going to look to the heavens and proclaim, it takes You?
