build a world

Friday June 7^th, Luke 7: 12 As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out—the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her. 13 When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, "Don't cry."  Fear not, in spite of living in a society that has the means to care for the widow and orphan but not the heart for it, fear not.  Fear not to care for the widow and orphan in spite of living in a society that has not the heart to bring an end to endless war but rather feeds off the money that flows in the process of constantly preparing for it.  Fear not, in spite of living in a society that has the means, but not the heart to bring an end to poverty.  Fear not, in spite of living in a society that has the means but not the heart to provide medical care for all.  Fear not, in spite of living in a society that has not the heart to find out why so many are living in our jails instead of being content with simply building more jails.  Fear not, in spite of living in a world that seeks the fast buck over the faithful walk.  Fear not, the Lord is with you and has ordained to act on his behalf to help build a world where the least, the lost and the lonely fear not.
