Justice

A man woke up today and has to deal with the guilt of taking someone's life, whether it was done with evil intent or he was truly defending himself, he has fight that pain today. A family across town has to continue to struggle with the loss of their son, knowing he will never return home, and questioning ever descion that led up to that fatal night. Unlike them we all get to debate our feelings, vent our anger, or make a political statements. Whether we think justice was served or not, no descion in that courtroom will restore the life lost. We can blame an injust system, we can look at race, we can even pronuce judgment but it will not return what was loss. But Christian you can pray for God's strength for all involved. Christian you can pray for the one you look on with hatred and have displace your anger on, because that is What Jesus Would Do. Christian you can be a voice of reason in a world of chaos or you can be a voice chaos when America is in need of reason. Christian you can bring The Light to a dark place or you can be the darkness that tries to cover the light. You can spread hate over love or let Christ's perfect love abolish the hate. Yes it is said we live in the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave. But in reality, without Christ as the center we are in the land of bondage and home of the fearful, it is Christ who sets us free and we can embrace that freedom when we abide in Him. So if Christ is in you. If you have the Hope of Glory. If you bow your knees to Him, ask HIM how you should respond to this event, ask Him to give you the words to post instead posting your own. Look with His eyes on all involved with Trayvon Martin Case. Look to Him not your feelings. It is our duty as Christians to represent Christ on this Earth because He represented us on the cross. So we should seek how to represent Him regardless what we are facing. I am not saying we do not speak out when we beleive we are seeing injustice. But I am saying present your arguments in such a way that God will be honored and not shamed. I am saying you got witness one person sin, mistake, or whatever you want call it broadcast around the world but your sin that has hurt your family, destroyed relationships, or even caused to the demise of someone else was kept private and no one was there to document it and openly judge you. But if they were we would want to be heard instead of labeled. We would all want to be helped instead of hurt. And we would all want the chance to change the past instead walking in it's consequences that exist in the present. We would all want as much grace/mercy as we could get. But be warned Christian one day we all will be exposed for our sins before a just God. So today extend that same grace,mercy to those who need it even if you feel they do not deserve it because God extended it to you. Today pray for all families that where forever changed by this horrific event. Stand up for Jesus today and live as He would have you in regards to this tragic event.
