Why do I think women right now can have more of an impact than previous generations did for good?
Because of the internet. Because of social media.
We can choose to produce goodness, to share goodness, and to consume goodness.
When our house is completely dark at night and I need to take care of a crying baby, all it takes is one little light to allow me to see.
By being just a small light, we can make a bigger difference than we could ever imagine.
I’ve got a testimony of that, for sure.
Samuel told the people living in Zarahemla that the Lord needed to destroy the entire city because of their wickedness.
“But behold, it is for the righteous’ sake that it is spared.” (Hel. 13:14)
One righteous person can keep an entire city from being destroyed.
And one righteous person can shine a light and share goodness on social media.
We can choose to post wisely.
We can choose to avoid division.
We can check facts.
We can resist cheap digs.
We can create beautiful and powerful content.
And whenever we choose to share our opinions, we try to always be led by the Spirit.
And that’s how we transcend the darkness and bitterness around us.
We stand out in different and distinct ways from the rest of the world and our difference can be tenfold (or more) what it could have been 20 years ago.
Just one person. One post. One comment. One moment of restraint.
Can make all the difference between darkness and life-changing light.
Happy Studying!
