Given all that is going on in our country right now, we as followers of

Jesus, need to allow him now more than ever to search our hearts and direct

our actions. The work that must precede all other action is the work of

repentance. This is not easy for us to hear. But let us be people of

courage and humility. And let us grasp the opportunity to be people of

change for the sake of God’s kingdom being seen here on earth.
