[short note]: where do we go from here

Something that captured in my heart today:

"Seeing all that is in the world with so much injustice and things that are irreversible, how do we reconcile our role for Christlikeness in this fallen world? Just thinking about this made my heart sunk so deep that I whimpered throughout the night - feeling hopeless.

Then in that cries I heard a quite whisper, soft as a silk running through the sides of the ear, gently remind me that the mourning of the souls of many kindled in God the desire of heart that attunes way back in the first century, the same emotions that was carried by our Son Himself. Seeing a fallen world crucifying Him, He sought petition from His Father, who eventually became our Father, and cried, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."

Would we have the strength, even in the midst of helplessness, to let go of our earnestness to try to fix the world first and let God first sink deep into the reality of our lives, so that we look up to the sky, and relished the gifts that God has given us, in different means at different times, to mend the broken souls to seek Him?"

Perhaps we should learn to be strong enough to let go of so much of our 'control' and let God sink first in my heart the brokenness of our own souls. In our brokenness, perhaps we can let the glory of God shine through us the cracks - and let those cracks be the reason why many fallen souls see the glimmer of hope in life.
