Justice and Kindness

What does God think of injustice? How should we treat our neighbors—those who are different from us, and those who are in need? What does it look like for us to do justice and to exercise kindness in the world?
This life is filled with injustice, inequities, prideful arrogance, and self-supremacy.
God spoke through the Prophet Micah, saying, “He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” (Micah 6:8, ESV).
God is just and requires his followers to do justice in this world. God is merciful and kind to his children and requires his children to love mercy and to live with kindness. God is great and mighty and we are to walk in humility in the presence of his majesty.
May we live lives of justice and kindness as we live in humble obedience to our magnificent, kind, and just God.
A Prayer in Times of Social Conflict or Unrest: “Increase, O God, the spirit of neighborliness among us, that in peril we may uphold one another, in suffering tend to one another, and in homelessness, loneliness, or exile befriend one another. Grant us brave and enduring hearts that we may strengthen one another, until the disciplines and testing of these days are ended, and you again give peace in our time; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (#44, Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
