Lord, make me an instrument of your peace
Where there is hatred let me sow love
Where there is injury, pardon
Where there is doubt, faith
Where there is despair, hope
Where there is darkness, light
Where there is sadness, joy
Grant that I might not seek so much to be
Consoled as to console
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love
For it is giving that we receive
And it is pardoning that we are pardoned
I aspire to be the light. There is no shame in being human. We all are doing the best we can. Perfect is not an option. We have to feel the feels and do it anyway. As hard as it is.
Numb doesn’t work.
Lead anyway.
