…you’re not listening. I just read a short commentary by a pastor who said that “everyone is talking about social justice these days. The problem is that if we do it without God, it’s only a good thing and doesn’t bring about the transformation that God desires for human kind.”
Really? From my perspective it is difficult to do justice without God. If it is just and merciful… it is God…isn’t it? William Shakespeare once wrote;
“The quality of mercy is not strain’d/ It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven/ Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest; It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.”
From that pastor’s commentary, I can only conclude that he is just not listening. Sometimes you have to tune your ear toward the earth and trees to hear the gentle falling rain.
CALL + RESPONSE requires a discerning ear, eye and heart. And then, a response. Don’t be afraid to feel it raining.
