In the pain of activism

The battles of life can be immense on your soul. There are so many tragedies and sorrows sometimes, that anyone will feel helpless. Everyone who has a bleeding heart wants to save the world. You alone cannot save it. This can then make someone callous to sadness. Defeat is the birth of bitterness. The only way not to be defeated is to expect that you may not win. The activists in this world are very strong. You can't do it for years and not have your heart torn up at least once. It  makes everything in you crumble when you don't get enough people to see injustice. Some people say," Those children in Africa will starve because nobody cares enough." This is the wrong attitude.  Jesus was one man and he changed the whole world. Mohamed was one man. Ghandi was one man. The Pope is one man .Martin Luther King was one man. Every struggle and every belief meets resistance. What if Nelson Mandela gave up and decided that jail was not an option. Cruel governments have collapsed because of persistence. People discovered, maybe way to late, that Bush was not a good president. Many people went to jail for speaking out and were persecuted by the radio pundits. You never know what activism will end up doing. The power of God is the end impossibility. He is not limited in his miracles. Joseph was a prisoner who ended up being a king. Mandela walked out of prison as a political cantidate and then was elected president. You never know what is going to happen in this wild, crazy world because... there is a God. The hopeless have been vindicated before.  God is amazing and you cannot lose sight of that. This story is nothing short of a miracle. God does hear us. In these places, in these lands of the heartbroken.... the people SING!!!... without clothes or food or shoes . We don't sing in America when life sucks. These people's hearts are shredded and they don't stop praising God. That is why miracles like this happen. Do not give up on what you believe in.  One day your world of peace may come and if I'm wrong about that, Jesus will.  Miracles happen every day, but no one wants to give God any credit. Hope is all we have and it is the "Father of Everything". Hope is faith and faith is God. Nothing is impossible. Impossible is a word used by people who don't believe God. When he comes out of the sky everyone will be devastated to their knees and they will weep, even his people. Don't quit on God... he loves us and he knows of every sorrow...He can take away the pain of your soul... he doesn't care about how bad you've been, he cares about how good you want to be. He will heal every sad heart that has truly had enough of the world. Do you want God to save you? The word changes one bloody heart at a time and sometimes many.  God never ever gives up and neither should you.
