Last week, Lindy played a very powerful song to our class. The basic message of this song is "I only ask of God that He not let me be indifferent to suffering."
Lindy said that this song inspired him to take a stance on a controversial issue and do something about it, in his case writing a book to inform and give voice to the unheard. As we have encountered, debated, and reflected on similar tough issues, I likewise pray that I not become indifferent or apathetic to the suffering, injustice, and personal and societal problems of the world. I pray for guidance, direction, and courage to follow the convictions God gives me on certain issues, in certain circumstances, in my place in el Reino de Dios. I just wanted to share this very meaningful song, what Lindy said about it, and a bit of what I'm thinking with and being challenged by!
*If you can't understand the lyrics of the song, google translate them ;)
