"Radical Hope" - Mike Aschraft | Radical, Part 7

Poverty isn’t first an economic problem but rather a matter of dignity. Dignity is simply the innate worth of another person. We don’t give dignity; we honor it; to honor someone’s dignity, we need to see and notice them. Listening honors dignity. Saying someone’s name demonstrates dignity. Trusting another brings dignity. Dignity is the lens through which we see redemption. We learn to bring dignity to hard things by bringing grace and dignity to despair by bringing hope. It is not about finding things worth doing but finding worth in the things we are doing. Serving is offering ourselves to others for their good and contributing to the good of the world around us.
