The World Needs Soft Hearts

There’s so much happening around us - constant change, crises, and the pressure to make ends meet. It feels like the world is on our backs. Even simple things, like the price of a bag of Doritos, remind us that everything is spiraling out of control.

We often think the best we can do is keep chugging along, but that’s not true. The world is experiencing a hardening - a loss of compassion and love. We tolerate harmful things in media, ignore hunger, and accept the rise of AI without question. But the real problem is the hardening of hearts, just like the story of Pharaoh in the Bible.

So, where do we start to fix things? By loving our neighbors, strangers, and communities. Imagine if everyone donated time and food to help those in need - we could make a real difference. The world needs real human groups now more than ever, and you can start one today.

If you’re feeling the pressures of the world but still have a soft heart, don’t let time pass you by. Lend a helping hand to those in need, and you will be blessed for it. If you have two of something and someone else has a genuine need, give them one of yours. Small acts of kindness go a long way.

Here’s a quick list of things you can give that cost nothing:

Getting into the habit of these actions will make a difference in your life and in the world. Please share this post if it resonated with you.

Love ya,
