There is no doubt that pain exist on so many levels and it’s very hard to comprehend the depth of evil. Story after story of war, poverty, death and heartache. This past week I was able to celebrate Christmas with family and friends. Nice warm home, gifts, and plenty of food. It was fun…And I thank God that I’m blessed.
However, I hate that so many don’t have what I have. My prayer this morning was for anger. I don’t care what you call it, holy anger, righteous anger or holy discontent. I just want my heart to beat in the same manner of Jesus.
And I think Jesus is angry over the pain and suffering in our world. And I know he wants His followers to have the same anger. We can’t be content with being blessed, we must become a blessing.
We have “good news” to share. We can offer hope, we can show love, we can share the story of Jesus to our world.
I hope and pray that 2009 we all become more connected to the gospel and how the gospel is displayed in our day-to-day lives. Let us become more generous with our love, time and resources.
JV,
