What about justice withheld?
I bet you've never thought about this before, yep, it takes a bit for us to get used with this term... it shakes us for a couple of days and then we just forget about it. Am I wrong?
I have to tell you, I am so glad to see this blog being a instrument to bring for you & me - knowledge! We are on a race, and while this world keeps spinning around, we need to keep on steady.
Today's matter is quite hard to talk about. People never want to say their lives need something more than it does... well, at least, they never say it loud.
What is happening today, is the 'confort zone + fear + rushness = blindness' equation. We have so many things to do, that sometimes we forget that life is not only composed by "I".
Bitterness start to grown when we just look to the "I" fact; therefore we need to remmenber that theres one and only diference from better to bitter & it is the key letter I... The way you place the "I" can change radically the word. And so does in our lives.
Why am I saying all these crazy thoughts? Because in a world where everything is normal, maybe the crazyest thought of today is what matters most to the heart of God/ our cause.
You can say to me, " Nat, nothing matters most then my progress & sucess in every sphere of my life... because trough it all I can bless others by being blessed".
YES, you will do it, and you know, that will be SO great on you. But, then I'll ask you: Is only in your inner universe that the world spin?
People are dying on the streets, church settle their strenghts only in their nice temples, musicians got musics artisticly crafted by some great producer only to make famous their names... and not God's name.
Of course, there are always exceptions. Great exceptions I have to say. People like the one who I quote in the beggining of this post... that with no fear, lived out loud every single thing they need it to live, in order to show us a message of hope.
W.W.J.D? Is a great question. He was/is/will be a great man and a even better Dad. I am pretty sure, the best example we can have in our lives. For his life was a clear sacrifice... what means that? He was a servant & He loved us first (with no second intentions, or bargain). We had nothing to offer, still he loved us.
You're heart is proofed by the way you treat the ones who cant gives you something as an exchange, but still needs you.
Look at the other side of the world and feel compassion, can happen once in a time, but if you dont take action, your compassion doesnt mean nothing! Faith without deeds keeps on being dead, and no matter what happens, if you dont take action, it will keeps on being. still.
The justice is withheld because we are blind. Injustice keeps on fooling people every day when ignorance/ indiference keeps on growing in our society as normal.
IT IS NOT NORMAL human trafficking;
IT IS NOT NORMAL deaths for lack of food or clean water;
IT IS NOT NORMAL civil wars of traffic and prostitution;
IT IS NOT NORMAL child abuse and woman violence;
...
IT IS NOT NORMAL the things media keeps on telling us is normal.
Everytime we know something is happening and take not action;
we are being complicit with the situation.
"People are dying on the streets, church settle their strenghts only in their nice temples, musicians got musics artisticly crafted by some great producer only to make famous their names... and not God's name."
ReplyDeleteNat, It's soooo true!
"but if you dont take action, your compassion doesnt mean nothing!"
GREAT post ;)
it's really an amazing post...
I thought something right now, but I don't know "HOW" yet. Maybe we should do something, but I say something like uniting our forces, you know? actually, I don't know "why" I'm saying it.. but this is in my heart right now! I love this cause, and I really need to do something. There're so many posts on blog about this... and I want to talk more about this with you later.
Keep blessing lives!
