we're pro's, i must say.
God looks down on us,
his heart bleeding and wrecked.
we're professional God-killers.
we can easily look the other way when we're uncomfortable.
you know you do it...
you see someone who looks different,
walks different,
talks slow...you look past them,
pretending you don't notice,
they know exactly what you're doing.
we can easily turn the channel when we're bombarded with need.
you know you do it...
you see someone with a bloated stomach,
with flies in their eyes,
tears...we ignore them,
pretending the problem is not ours.
we can easily get caught up in the luxurious living of Westernized Culture.
you know you do it...
you have a tv,
a couch,
a refrigerator,
you have a blanket,
walls. a door.
we have a penny to our name.
we are caught up in living in our homes,
focused inside where it's warm,
ignoring the rest of the world.
funny that kids in America are quite possibly in line with some of the richest in the world,
most have some banking account of some sort,
money in their pockets, and loose change laying around carelessly...
which, funnily enough, makes them in the top percentile of the world's richest.
funny that we live worried about being able to afford gasoline,
when most people in the world don't even have a car to put it in.
what a blessed and perverse people we are.
we have perfected the ways to kill God.
He rescues the poor at the first sign of need,
the destitute who have run out of luck.
He opens a place in his heart for the down-and-out,
he restores the wretched of the earth.
He frees them from tyranny and torture -
When they bleed, He bleeds;
When they die, He dies.
psalm 72:12-14
maybe we should think twice about the things we complain about,
and put our focus where God's is at...
the poor
(if you have money in the bank, in your hand, and laying around, you are in no way poor in comparison to the rest of the world.)
the destitue
the down-and-out
the wretched.
because when THEY bleed, our GOD bleeds
when THEY die, GOD dies...
you don't want to be categorized as a God-killer?
then take your eyes off your play-station, your tv,
get up off your couch, take some left-overs out of the fridge,
get in your car (you seem to always manage to have gas somehow),
and go out and do something for someone else...
it doesn't take a lot...but it does a lot.
it's hard to hear the truth sometimes,
i know i got a huge smack in the face.
but i figure, i would rather be on God's side any day.
who's with me?
the destitute who have run out of luck.

When they bleed, He bleeds;
