May God bless you with discomfort... at easy answers, hard hearts, half-truths ,and superficial relationships. May God bless you so that you may live from deep within your heart where Gods Spirit dwells. May God bless you with anger... at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people. May God bless you so that you may work for justice, freedom, and peace. May God bless you with tears... to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation and war. May God bless you so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and turn their pain into joy. And may God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you can make a difference in this world, in your neighborhood, so that you will courageously try what you dont think you can do, but, in Jesus Christ youll have all the strength necessary. May God bless you to fearlessly speak out about injustice, unjust laws, corrupt politicians, unjust and cruel treatment of prisoners, and senseless wars, genocides, starvations, and poverty that is so pervasive. May God bless you that you remember we are all called to continue Gods redemptive work of love and healing in Gods place, in and through Gods name, in Gods Spirit, continually creating and breathing new life and grace into everything and everyone we touch.
