The
reading of this passage, beginning with the open sentencing, “Here is
my servant whom I uphold, my chosen one with whom I am pleased, Upon
whom I have put my Spirit; he shall bring forth justice to the nations,
Not crying out, not shouting, not making his voice heard in the street,”
resonates with me and the people I interact with professionally and
personally. Working in a community, with community-based
organizations, and knowing the work and relationships being created are for a
good cause - for the greater
good of empowering and assisting the youth - enables me to help more
and go above and beyond to be of service. This passage illustrates the
significance in society of always looking out for people, even if you
may not know them. The service with good intentions that we have to
offer needs to benefit the public in the big picture. I learn from other
people’s actions and my surroundings on how we are encouraged to give
back to the community we are in and knowing what defines charity.
Staying committed and engaged to people who have less enriches the
culture by giving a helping hand.
