TIME IS NEUTRAL

Martin Luther King Jr. wrote, “Time itself is neutral; it can be used either destructively or constructively. More and more I feel that the people of ill will have used time much more effectively than have the people of good will. We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people. Human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability; it comes through the tireless efforts of men willing to be coworkers with God, and without this hard work, time itself becomes an ally of the forces of stagnation.”

To do nothing is to have done something. It seems important to me right now to ‘redeem the time.’ We need to “be coworkers with God” as King has said. May your Kingdom come.

“Your Kingdom come, your will be done, or earth as it is in heaven.” Jesus
