Choose today, not tomorrow, not next week or later. The world’s greatest tragedy is unfolding before your eyes. Worse and more intense than the great wars, the world is entangled in a tangle of conflicts. There is no world war, but add it all up and you cannot deny it. That’s why you must choose good today, God, understanding, and compassion. Only in difficult times does Goodness come into its own; then God reveals his true face.
It feels impossible to you. How can you choose goodness when you are under attack or when everything around you is reduced to chaos? You choose today with your heart, because you believe in the Most High. Fear disappears. And perhaps you won’t survive this dark period, but that’s not important. Your soul will be saved if you choose now.
The original Ode is written down during a vespers meditation by Sarah under guidance of Alabris. The original language is Dutch. See the original writing below.
