Bear Witness

Among the chaos and evil of the world
you bring something different.
You are not tainted by the world's fear and hatred.
You bear love to the world.
To nations in warlike frenzy
or to neighbors afraid
or to families upset and struggling
you bring peace.
You bring trust in God.
Their resentment and resistance
is your opportunity to love.
Their craziness is deadly.
Hold steadfast to love;
that's how you stay alive.
"By your endurance you will gain true life."
