I cannot accept that to be realistic means to tolerate misery, violence and hate. I do not believe that the hungry man should be treated as subversive for expressing his suffering. I shall never accept that the law can be used to justify tragedy, to keep things as they are, to make us abandon our ideas of a different world. Law is the path of liberty, and must as such open the way to progress for everyone.Oscar Arias Sánchez
Do not exploit the poor because they are poor
and do not crush the needy in court,
for the LORD will take up their case
and will plunder those who plunder them.God
Rescue those being led away to death;
hold back those staggering toward slaughter.
If you say, "But we knew nothing about this,"
does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?
Does not he who guards your life know it?
Will he not repay each person according to what he has done?God
God, I don't have a clear conscience about this. Thank you for forgiving me, and for purifying all unrighteousness in me. You demand perfection, and yet you say I am lying if I claim to be flawless as a follower of Jesus. Thank you for according me righteousness and goodness in your eyes because I believe that this was the purpose of you killing your Son for me. You also promised me that you will complete the process of refining me and it will take my whole life.
So...as wounded and bleeding as I am, I know you love me for eternity. I love you too, Jesus, for dying for me before I was born on the road for condemnation and eternal guilt and suffering.
