Do Something

From: Stephanie

I was sitting on a plane after a long, tiring business trip. I was a bit grouchy and irritable because the rigorous schedule I had made for myself left me exhausted. Looking to not talk to the person next to me and simply endure the flight, I decided to open my newspaper and read about what was happening in the world. As I continued to read, it seemed that everywhere I looked there were stories of injustice, pain, suffering, and people losing hope. Finally, fueled by my tired, irritable state, I became overcome with compassion and frustration for the way things were. I got up and went to the bathroom and broke down.

With tears streaming down my face, I helplessly looked to the sky and yelled to God.

"God, look at this mess. Look at all this pain and suffering. Look at all this killing and hate. God, how could you let this happen? Why don't you do something?"

Just then, a quiet stillness pacified my heart. A feeling of peace I won't ever forget engulfed my body.

And, as I looked into my own eyes in the mirror, the answer to my own question came back to me ...

"Steve, stop asking God to do something. God already did something, he gave you life. Now YOU do something!"
