When you read about what is going on in the world, or when you hear something on the news, I hope your spirit is not bogged down by what is happening, but rather inspired to make a difference somehow. I realize that some of you are working full-time, or perhaps you are working full-time as a mother of a little one. So how can you make a difference?

Perhaps you can give that tired looking woman at the store a compliment. Perhaps you can ask the young girl sitting next to you about what is going on in her life. Sometimes just taking the time to listen and showing that you care can mean the difference between someone having a bad or a good day.
Maybe there is a local non-profit you would consider volunteering at every other week. Or if you don't have the time, maybe you would prefer to give financially to a cause you desperately believe in. Even if its a small amount, you never know what impact you could make on someone's life.

"The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion–to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called trees of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor."
Is. 61:1-3
