I am exhausted by politics. My faith and hope no longer lie in the potential of politics to affect change in this world.

Even examples such as the radical party change in South Africa which occurred in the early 1990’s ending the evil system of apartheid has succumbed to corruption. Yes the reason is sin, but it is still disgusting, it is still disheartening, and it is still frightening to see that multitude of world wide issues are ever increasing instead of decreasing.

I am left to feel idle and helpless many times. This seems a common occurrence among people. To work for change seems a fruitless endeavor unless it stems from something much deeper than a personal desire to see all the world’s injustices solved. It must come from a source much higher. The God source. Through a life so prayerfully intertwined with the creator that work towards social change becomes a necessity born out of an intimate relationship with the one who hates all that is unjust.
