Exposing the Darkness

We are called to love people. And yes, we expose the darkness they live in, not by calling fire from heaven, but by living life among them. We will be rejected by some. We will be treated rudely. We’ll be called names. We’ll be given every opportunity to take offense. But we won’t. We’ll keep loving. We’ll just move to the next village and let our light shine there.
