• I look to people who strive to make peace with their allotment long enough to stretch out their hands to help others overcome their losses.
• I look to people who have risen above their discontent, dislodging, discomfort, and disassociation to hold out a guiding candle of hope for others.
• I look to people who have little left to lose for they are the ones no longer afraid of losing.
• I look to people more concerned with cooperation than competition.
• I look to people who speak less yet speak volumes at the same time.
What is it that makes these people so inspiring to me? It might be that hardship can pare us down toward the beauty of honesty and simplicity of heart. But more than that, I think it's because I see the glory of the Lord in their lives. The Lord inhabits their words and their deeds at once—a combination that can change the world.
