Pepperdine Law School Commencement Speech Excerpt

"What you do matters; who you are matters.

I'll close with the story of a young man who felt overcome by a sense of despair when he thought of all the injustice, pain and cruelty in the world. When he went to his place of worship he prayed: "Oh Lord, I don't understand. How can you allow all this injustice, pain and cruelty and do nothing?" Getting no reply, he asks again in an audible voice, "How can you do nothing." Then he heard a small voice from behind say, "He didn't do nothing, he made you."

What a powerful and profound insight it is when you realize that you are God's instrument for a better world."

--Michael Josephson
