s we draw closer to the return of Jesus, we can see prophecy being fulfilled all around us. Scripture tells us in Matthew 24:12, “And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold” (NKJV). All we have to do is look around at what is happening in our society to see that this is true today. However, those of us who remain vigilant know that we have a duty to fulfill for the kingdom of heaven. Beyond that, God’s love compels us to take action and be the light for His glory. To find love on the HIS campus, we need look no further than to our faculty, staff, and administration. Witnessing our beloved teachers in action is to see true love in the form of passion for their subject of specialty, patience with students when they struggle to understand something or when their traumas get in the way of their progress, and enthusiasm when understanding dawns on a student’s face. We also have the privilege of watching our counselors’ dedication to the mental health and healing of students. They go above and beyond to work with our students who struggle in areas of trauma, interpersonal relationships, insecurities, family turmoil, developmental and emotional delays, and so much more. Our counselors show their love by advocating for students who make an effort but still have a difficult time regulating their emotions.
