is all the evil in this world an injustice solely because it causes suffering to man or because it is in direct contrast to the will of God, that it grieves His heart. going on the suffering argument,the rights that we have are a gift from God, not an entitlement to us as human beings, the only thing we are entitled to is hell without Jesus because we were dead in our transgressions, and hell is worse than any amount of suffering we can go through here on earth. so let us never forget the big picture, that the definition of injustice is to grieve the very heart of the Almighty God, which should be what causes us to be outraged, not focused on the issue of human suffering, but rather God suffering.
so when we serve, do ministry, go on missions, let us always remember that the focus isn't to alleviate suffering, but rather to worship God by obeying His command to do so, that God is not commissioning us solely for the sake of people or the suffering they go through, but that He is commissioning us for His own sake, because He is worthy to receive the reward of His suffering, because He is worthy to have every knee bow and every tongue confess that He is the one and only God who reigns on high
Lord, help me to never make you a means to any other end but your Glory, because you alone are worthy, help me to always remain small in my own eyes and to never step out of your leading, that i would never become self-reliant, but total and utter dependence on you is what i desire, help me to see and understand this world with your eyes, that there would not be even an ounce of deception within me because your Truth, your Word, your Presence is what my soul hungers for, so Lord, be magnified in me and through me, make me that perfect vessel without blemish for your Glory. Amen!
