On this day, 10 years ago, the world watched America under attack.
We witnessed thousands of lives unwillingly taken at the hands of terrorists. We were affected. Whether directly or indirectly we all realized that in a blink of an eye our lives can make a dramatic change based off someones action. Ten years later, there are people still grieving this tragedy, very sad. Images plague our media outlets of that faithful morning, stirring up emotions that fuel our perception of the type of world we live in.
So what type of world do we live in?
Is it one that is cold, without remorse, disregard to human life, or God? Or, is it a world we see hurting and desperate for love, unity and peace. What is driving our actions?
I for one, have a strong faith in God, the Alpha and Omega, the Omnipresent, the Everlasting Father... and so I know that events such as these have been prophesied in my bible.
Matthew 24:6,7..."And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places."
We need to still think, speak, act, and walk in love for it is within our tiny gestures that can be the change we are searching for. I encourage you to never forget the suffering and loss of lives that have been taken as a result of war and natural disasters, however try not to let it consume you into grief and doubt. We are still alive! We can still dream and prepare, reconcile and restore. We can still be the change the world needs.
So live for your family, love thy neighbor and be of service to your sistern and brethren. Let's make this ten year anniversary of tragedy a mark for positive change!
Jeremiah 29:11..."For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not evil, to give you an expected end."
