Using It for Good

Covid-19 and its impact on human life has been wide and varied. Introverts love being told to stay at home; extroverts struggle. Many people celebrate the time they’ve been able to spend with family; others struggle to pay rent and buy food. Everyone has learned valuable lessons about themselves and their lives; tens of thousands have died. And in the midst of it all, God keeps showering God’s grace upon the world so in need of it. Sometimes through quiet moments of prayer. At other times miraculously in the throes of deep pain. And at still other times through the ministrations of doctors, nurses, first responders, grocery store clerks and truck drivers. Jesus’ followers look at real life with eyes wide open and see the good, the bad and the ugly of Covid-19. Be even more importantly, they see how God is taking what is bad and using it for good.
