God Has A Dream
July 25, 2023
God has a dream. He revealed it in James 1:27. Quoting the Common English Bible, it reads, “True devotion, the kind that is pure and faultless before God, is this: to care for orphans and widows in their difficulties and to keep the world from contaminating us.”
To fulfill God’s dream, those of us who are Christ followers would demonstrate by helping the voiceless in their bad times, times of crisis, grief and poverty. That care goes a long way in preventing the world from contaminating us.
We realize that the world’s way is to ignore at best and exploit at worst–a stark contrast to the dream of God’s heart. We see those who are compassionate when it’s easy. And those who are living God’s dream. Compassionate when there’s a price to be paid.
