Second Thoughts ~ If Silence is Violence…

Greetings Dear Reader,

If silence is violence then hear me speak…


If Silence is Violence…

We need to call out the needs of the homeless wherever they are.
We need to walk toward those in need and not around them.
We need to echo the screams of unborn children being slaughtered by the millions.
We need to recognize that we have more than we need and cry out for forgiveness.
 

If Silence is Violence…
We need to vociferously demand that your income should not determine your healthcare.
We need to shout until we are horse that our veterans deserve better.
We need to scream at the waste that occurs daily in our bloated government.
We need to wail at the lives lost due to the cost of mental healthcare.

If Silence is Violence…
We need to shout loudly that African American lives do matter.
We must denounce any politician that grows fat on the backs of the dispossessed.
We must cry out against human trafficking in all its forms.
We must speak the truth in love to everyone.
 
If Silence is Violence…
We must all stop using words of violence; replacing them with kindness.
We must see the beauty in every soul and share our observations with others.
We must remove hatred of any kind from the words we think and speak.
We must speak until every human feels the love and kindness they are due.

If Silence is Violence…
I must speak peace into every conflict.
I must voice my love for every human in every saturation.
I must speak grace and mercy into every relationship.
I must proclaim that in Christ alone can any of this find its footing without condemnation or hatred of any kind.

If Silence is Violence…It is.

Prayer of Saint Francis – Sarah McLachlan

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is error, the truth;
Where there is doubt, the faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled, as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
 
Wishing you joy in the journey,

Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a homeowner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure store.”

Every human story is part of the great story that leads to the Father getting everything back to Good.
