He was left to die by the man of institutional religion and by his own ethnic kin. He was saved by the stranger whose capacity to care, transcended race and religion and culture. Our faith must lead us to a new South coalition where people of conscious stand together, anchored in an old time religion, a timeless faith, substance of things hoped for the evidence of things unseen. The God that we serve can mend broken hearts and can heal the breach. The God that we serve can close the gaps, can make crooked ways straight, can remove our doubts and fears, love is a healer.
Perfect love casts out fear.
The South has the power to lead the nation, to turn its scars into stars and to be transformed by the renewal of its mind. God has given us a formula for healing. We hold in to the dark night, weeping may endure for the night, but joy will come in the morning. If my people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked way, then we will hear from heaven and God will forgive our sins, and God will heal our land. Hope and healing in God springs eternal.
