Purifying Flames
Our country is in turmoil. What started as peaceful protests turned into riots and looting and violence. People took advantage of something good and used it for their own selfish desires. Setting cars on fires, breaking the glass windows of shops, crawling and climbing into the open areas of boarded up glass panels – what is this? This is not human. Where is human dignity?
Fire and flames will come, but not the fires set by people trying to make a “statement” – that is never right or justified. May we allow the fire and flames burning within our hearts purify all of our selfish ambitions and even our unforgiving spirit so that we may stand united in the face of these inhumane actions and be a light for those rioting in darkness.
