Love God. Love people.

"It is not a human right to stare not fight, while broken nations dream,
Open up our eyes, so blind, that we might find the Mercy for the need.

Fill our hearts with your compassion, as we hold to our confession.

It is not too far a cry, to much to try, to help the least of these,
Politics will not decide if we should rise and be your hands and feet.

Higher than a circumstance, our promise stands, your love for all to see,
Higher than our protest lines and dollar signs, your love is all we need.

Only you can mend the broken heart, and cause the blind to see,
Erase complete the sinners past, and set the captives free,
Only you can take the widows cry, and cause her heart to sing,
Be a father to the fatherless, our Savior and our King.

We will be your hands , we will be your feet,
We will run this race for the least of these,
In the darkest place, we will be your light,
We will be your light."

This exerpt from the "Solution" (a new Hillsong United song), says it well. It challenges us to be actively helping people. What are we doing to be fathers to the fatherless, aide the widows, feed the hungry, clothe the naked? The Bible is very clear in regards to loving God and loving people. You can not say you love God, without actively loving people.

So I challenge you. Look for opportunities to love people. Feed a homeless person today. Clean up a ederly person's yard. Spend some time with someone you know who normally gets rejected by others. Encourage someone (you never run out of encouragement, so don't be afraid to give it out).

In doing this, you validate your love for God.
