why did YOU allow all of this?

“at the trial of God we will ask: why did you allow all of this? / and the answer will be an echo: why did you allow all of this?”

-Ilya Kaminsky

people always say “why is this happening?” society this, the word that. but we are part of the world that we live on. we are part of the same human race. just because you are a christian doesn’t mean you are above this world. you are on this planet to change it. someone said to me once “if you don’t like something then why don’t you put in the work to change it?” it starts with you. it starts with how you view the world. if you see only the bad then all you’re ever gonna see is bad. what you see outside is a reflection of how you feel on the inside. if you see a problem with the things around you then you need to be the one to change it. are you just going to sit back and complain even though YOU have the power to be a world changer? it starts within your heart, mind, and soul. make the changes on the inside to see the changes on the outside. “if you want gardens, become the gardener.” you are the gardener. you plant the seeds into the world every. single. day. what are you doing to change the world? what are you doing to change the world within you? don’t just sit back and hope, go out and do. jesus spent time getting is mind and soul right and he spread kindness. he filled his mind and heart with love and spread that love to others. we need to be more like him instead of thinking we are above this world. jesus came to make the world a better place and we are called to do the same.
