Injustice will always exist but unjust hearts, minds, and souls don’t have to.
I promise to not let this pass me by. For several weeks I’ve been processing through these thoughts: There is no “when this is all over.” “When things go back to normal.” Reality check––hate, discrimination, abuse, malicious intent, and death prowl the earth seeking someone to devour. (1Pet. 5:8) So let us not run for cover to save ourselves, but see our brother or sister that are in harm's way and throw ourselves into the line of fire for them. A few thousand years ago the greatest friend I have ever known did that for me; demonstrating that in order to be more like Him I should also lay down my life for my friends.
Things will not go back to normal...Jesus is not satisfied with the “status quo” so neither am I. “Blood is thicker than water, but Spirit is thicker than blood.” So I’m asking for wisdom and guidance in unfamiliar territory. “There’s a cry for justice. A cry for MY justice.” says the Lord. Let us live as reconciliation and remember that we do not wage war the way that the world does..."The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds." (2 Cor. 10:4) I will continue to partner with peace, open my ears to the cries of His people, lend my hands and my feet to their care, and wage spiritual battles for justice to prevail. My heart, my voice, my prayers are ALWAYS for you.
Words aren’t enough, but Jesus is.
1 Peter 5:8 NASB
Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
