When most of us hear or use the words “just love them like Jesus” what we mean is the unconditional love and acceptance of the person irrespective of their behavior…

I was shocked. How can this many people be praying and God be this good and the fires keep coming? Something has to be changing now but I don’t know why it isn’t. I wasn’t questioning God, I was questioning the outcome and how nothing was changing. I was baffled.

This is the kind of fasting we want to choose: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?

“Well, it shouldn’t matter this much. You don’t have it nearly as bad as…” was never helpful for validating our pain. In fact, it normally shut down area’s of our heart that needed tending to.

I'm thankful for the freedom, but whew, isn't freedom supposed to be easy? He is relentless towards our freedom.

Yes, there are those people who don't stop to listen to what God's saying, but what about those of us who are leaning in so far we've fallen out of our chair and .... nothing. Perhaps, God works a bit like Siri.
