BONUS: Current Events and Agency
Description
We all hate the feeling of someone dismissing our struggle and telling us to "get over it" before we're ready. Sometimes this reminder to move on is needed, especially when the thing is legitimately a small grudge that we really just need to let go.
In my opinion, now is not the time. Now is not the time to tell people who support the Black Lives Matter movement, who support anti-racism efforts, who are protesting, to get over it and be quiet and peaceful again. To take the stance of "I'm tired of hearing about it, so let's just move on" is casting God-given agency aside, choosing to be inactive and unresponsive to real pain that our brothers and sisters are facing.
I reference Galatians 5:13 , where Paul instructs the people to use their liberty in love and in service of others. Whatever you do right now in light of current events, do something intentional to use your liberty and serve others, don't just seek to protect your own comfort and choose inactivity.
Feel free to use your agency to disagree!
Much love.
