Being Transformers

"We cannot remove the conditions under which our work is to be done, but we can transform them. They are the elements out of which we must build the temples wherein we serve." ~Brooke Foss Wescott

Sometimes it's hard to be an agent of change; the one who refuses to go along with the crowd when the crowd is taking us down. When low morale and negativity threaten to swallow us up, it's difficult to remember that we have a choice. We can choose to be that one candle that brightens a dark place.

We can choose to stubbornly hold that candle high even in the middle of dark, discouraging conditions. And eventually, others will notice. We can transform the darkness. It's happened before.

"I am the Light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." John 8:12
