Love and Justice

When Love leads, Justice follows.

Judgement without compassion is the Devil's work.

Grace and peace to you…

If it were the end of days

If it were the end of days,
I’d say:

Let’s do this,
See what God begins next.

Let’s do it together,
See how God loves
from the very next beginning

To the never-ending end.

The whole truth

If love is not in the truth I tell

I’m not telling the whole truth.

I recently added a new page to becomingflame.com – Pages on Love – a listing of all posts where love is a significant theme. You’ll see a variety of perspectives coming from all sorts of angles. I hope you enjoy the new page and find some measure of encouragement from the posts listed there.

Don’t forget the similar pages on hope and prayer:

Self-isolation

Don’t love the world’s ways. Don’t love the world’s goods. Love of the world squeezes out love for the Father. Practically everything that goes on in the world—wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important—has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from him.

1 John 2:15-17 – Peterson, Eugene H.. The Message: The Bible in Contemporary Language . The Navigators. Kindle Edition.

Who would have thought
when I wear a mask
I don't hide behind it
but instead flash a broad smile:
you are important to me

when I stay home
self-isolating
I reach out:
I care for you this much

Who would have thought
when I deny myself
bear the inconvenient cross before me
(the world behind me)
I follow my Maker
embracing the world
and you

Whoever would have thought 
or said
such a thing?
