“If we have the courage and tenacity of our forebears, who stood firmly like a rock against the lash of slavery, we shall find a way to do for our day what they did for theirs" - Mary McLeod Bethune

The moment in which we find ourselves is not particularly easy. Many of us looking at our individual circumstances, the news, and the world around us have good reason to believe that things may very well get worse before they get better.

Nevertheless, we are not the first generation to face hardship and struggle. No matter who you are reading or listening to this, you likely have someone or a lot of someones on your tree who faced even worse.

Let us have the same tenacity, courage, and determination in facing today’s situation as they did facing yesterday’s. They had the hope and faith to believe that tomorrow could be better than today, but only if they committed to the work of making it so.

I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Peace be with you.

“The gospel of Jesus is not a rational concept to be explained in a theory of salvation, but a story about God’s presence in Jesus’ solidarity with the oppressed, which led to his death on the cross. What is redemptive is the faith that God snatches victory out of defeat, life out of death, and hope out of despair.” - James H. Cone

The Caesars of this world claim that they have received the favor of God. Some of them even claim to be God’s anointed. They rationalize the exploitative and unjust systems as ordained by God.

The story of Jesus on the cross rejects this self serving narrative. God shows up in the lives of the forsaken and marginalized. The powerful of the resurrection in our lives snatches victory from defeat.

“The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.” (Romans 8:11)

That same power lives in us. Therefore we have hope.

Look for the Beauty

“Despite the wretched conditions humankind continuously faces, I believe in the beauty that is, and it is my scholarly and pastoral duty to pursue and find it.” - JoAnne Marie Terrell

What we seek is what we tend to find. What we focus on is what we tend to see. What we share is what we tend to experience. And what and how we think determines who we become. These are universals.

So, it is critical for us to attune our ears to hear the music, and our eyes to see the beauty. We must direct our minds to look for possibilities and opportunities and our tongues to words that heal and encourage.

“… Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” (Philippians 4:8) And live your life accordingly.

“I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it's for or against" - Malcolm X

Blood may be thicker than water, but truth and justice must be thicker still.

It’s good to do for our family and friends, but not if doing so means wronging someone else’s family and friends.

It’s good to work for the wellbeing of our neighbors and communities, our states and nations, but not if we forget that we are part of a larger global community.

The earliest Christians believed that they were baptized into union with each other in Christ. The divisions of race and religion, class, social status, and gender identity were no more. (Galatians 3:28)

If we aren’t standing on the side of truth and justice, righteousness and wellbeing, we are standing on the wrong side.

I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Peace be with you.
