Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; he rises
to show you compassion. For the LORD is a God of justice, Blessed are all who wait for him!

WORDS TO CONSIDER:
"We can't change the world
'out there'. And fortunately, we don't have to; we can begin much closer to home. We can begin 'in here'. In fact, if we're
to succeed, we must.
Because the chaos isn't 'out there' in everyone else. It's not 'out there' in the world. The chaos
is 'in here' in you and me.
The world's not the problem, you and I are.
The world's not in chaos, we are.
The
world's apparent chaos is only a reflection of our own inner turmoil.
If the world reflects a lack of good sense, it's
because each one of us reflects the same. If the world acts as if it doesn't know what it's doing, it's because each one of
us acts the same. If the world is violent, and greedy, and heartless, and inhuman, and often just plain stupid, it is because
you and I are that way.
So if the world is going to be changed, we must first change our lives!"
