It’s hard to see how things sometimes unfold in our small church family. When one of our own loved brothers or sisters in Christ suffers we feel it. Hearts ache for them, concern often creeps in and we wonder how can we make it better. We wonder, “Where is your justice?” Can’t you make it better for them?

 

I wish I would it was still baffling to me why people would take advantage of other’s generosity or even take advantage of a loving heart. We’ve had that happen right here at our church, and just this last week! We live in a world that is sinful and so we cry “Where is your righteousness Lord?”

 

But then everyone is looking for justice- for themselves. No one likes to think they are bad and so they justify everything to make it seem good. Even the robber or the murderer can claim, “I live in a flawed system, It is due me,” or “it was in self-defense, or pay back.” Longing for what is right has some looking in the wrong places for it.
