For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet, till her vindication shines out like the dawn, her salvation like a blazing torch. Isaiah 62 verse 1
Sensitive soul that I am, i do not like to push my views and beliefs onto others. I am of the opinion that it is as sensible to persuade someone into the kingdom of heaven, as it is to hold a gun to their head.
But I also believe that it is never right to keep silent. Stick up for what right. To stay silent is to be complicit. Racism and injustice thrive in a climate of fear and timidity. I speak up for those I love and care about. I wish to be like a flaming torch, burning through the night.
Question: Where do these beams of light penetrate?
Prayer: As I look to you, point to where the light of your presence should fall.
