JUSTICE.
A word straight from the Lord's heart. A dream from the infinite imagination of the Lord.
To so fulfill the dream of the Lord as to put arms and legs to His idea.
Justice, to bring hope to the hopeless, food to the hungry, love to the hateful, health to the sick, arms to the lonely, fathers to the fatherless, help for the widow.
We have to get beyond the American version of justice which equals vengeance. Justice is not vengeance. Vengenmce is your agenda to hurt, justice is Gods heart for equality. Equality doesn't come we make everyone equal by "spreading the wealth", but when we realize that the only wealth is the Lords and "even the dogs get the crumbs from the table."
1John 3:17 "If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?"
Equality is when you have more and it bugs you to the core that you know there are people out there who have too little and if you only knew where they were you would give it all.That the price of a Latte could buy real food for someone somewhere. Its when we make things equal by giving, not taking from others. When the giving comes from our hearts not a government mandate. We are so locked into what is and is not our job. What is or is not too much? Should we really be so concerned with too much? Should we not be more concerned with whether we are giving/doing too little? If we can see those in need and we have no pity to the point of doing something, how could the love of God be in us. If our great parade of programs don't go to significantly improve someones life, then maybe we should start doing things worthwhile and invest in the Kingdom.
