"We are paralyzed in a poverty of hope because, first,
we underestimate the value of what God has given us to transform lives. Second,
we underestimate the value of a single life. And third, we underestimate God’s
determination to rescue us from a trivial existence if we just free up our
hands and our hearts from unworthy distractions and apply them to matters that
make a difference in someone else’s life. …Likewise, when our grandchildren ask
us where we were when the weak and the voiceless and the vulnerable of our era
needed a leader of compassion and purpose and hope – I hope we can say that we
showed up, and that we showed up on time. And that the very God of history
might say, 'Well done, good and faithful servant.'”
