How Could You?

Lord in this world there is sickness, famine, there is war and death, there are atrocities that happen everyday and you just stand by. There is so much evil in the world. There are so many people that are forced to do without and go without while you stand by and allow it. How could you?

I’ve asked these questions. I have thought these things. I have been angry about them and let them cause me so much upset and grief. How could he watch this and do nothing? He couldn’t, he didn’t. He created us, he created the church.

God created us to love people, to do for people, to help people. Because what we do for the least of these we do for him. God has given us clear instructions about what the church is to do, and I don’t mean the “church” that’s just a building I mean us. We are the hands and feet of God on this earth. We must see his will done here on earth as it is in heaven.

We as a group need to step out of our comfort zone and into the lives of the people we are called to love. When we see a need we need to fill it, when we see sorrow we need to comfort them, when we see despair we need to stand in the gap and pray for them. Our lives are not meant to be lived alone but the people we see who’s life is in turmoil isn’t meant to be alone either. We are here for them.

Today help someone, put feet on the word of God, love someone. I love you.
