Stem The Tide

To the ones that have a heart to do good, but perhaps are feeling very powerless.

You are not powerless.

You can stem the tide.

You can stop an oncoming wave, you can say ‘No!’, you can say ‘that’s enough!’, you can resist peer pressure, and you can change the course and direction of a trend. Sometimes we may feel powerless because we cannot actively stop a threatening force, but we can resist it. We can say ‘this goes no further!’. We can stand between evil forces and our children. We can choose to not give in and join the gossip that is being spread. We can choose to take the incredibly brave step to forgive, and so stem the tide of unforgiveness that produces bitterness. We can be like the brick in a wall of a dam, and so join with others to hold back a threatening surge. The lie that you could believe is that ‘you are the only one resisting these negative pressures’, because you do not see anyone else standing up for kindness and truth in your immediate circle of friends or family, but you are not alone. There are countless people around the world making the same courageous steps as you, to stem the tide. So join with them and be a force for change today.
