Two guys are talking to each other, and one of them says he has a question for God. He wants to ask why God allows all of this poverty and war and suffering to exist in the world. And his friend says, "Well, why don't you ask?" The fellow shakes his head and says he is scared. When his friend asks why, he mutters, "I'm scared God will ask me the same question." Over and over, when I ask God why all of these injustices are allowed to exist in the world, I can feel the Spirit whisper to me, "You tell me why we allow this to happen. You are my body, my hands, my feet."
We do indeed have a God of resurrection, a God who can create beauty from the messes we make of our world.
This is an excerpt from the book, The Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claiborne. Read it! It will challenge you to truly live life like Christ.

Wow...thanks for sharing that. How quickly we forget what God has called us to. This is a great reminder!
