Clinging to goodness is such a hard thing at times.
Do you mourn for others? I couldn't stop crying as I listened to It is Well by Bethel yesterday. Haha I'm so glad I'm working remotely.
It just broke me. It reminded me that there's so much going on this world. And I'm so wrapped up in fear, sadness, ignorance. I build up walls so I can't see it or so I only see part of it. Because it's so terrifying.
So terrifying. Hatred of others for no reason embedded in our selves. Oppressive regimes. Oppressive systems. Anger, rape, drugs, so many things that just continue and continue. People die without knowing Jesus, Churches acting unjustly, and it goes on and on and on.
And yet this songs declares it is well. But is it though? My heart can sing it, only half-heartedly mutter it because... I can't say it is well. I can't... I can only hope to say it. Praise God who makes all things possible. Who will one day end the cycle of suffering and rescue His people. Praise God for who He is.
