He will not cry aloud or lift up his voice, or make it heard in the street; a bruised reed he will not break, and a faintly burning wick he will not quench; he will faithfully bring forth justice. He will not grow faint or be discouraged till he has established justice in the earth...
Isaiah 42:2-4 ESV
He has a WAY of working that is not what's expected - he won't be making a big noise...
He is here FOR the damaged, the hurt...
And he has a PLAN.
He has a plan to bring about justice on the earth and he isn't going to stop til he is done.
So do I trust him enough?
When there's failure, loss, disappointment...even if I can't see him working, or he's not working in the way I want or expect... wilI still believe, still love, still have faith, still hope...that he has a plan, and he won't stop until justice is done & one day all things will be made new...

...four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They couldn't bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus... Mark 2:3-4 NLT Great account of inventiveness and determination to get their friend to see Jesus. Love this. Do you wonder about the back story? Are these the same 4 people who bring this man food? Take him to the toilet every day. Clean him up. Does he live with one of them? Are they family? Are there whole families or groups of people in the background who have supported and cared for this man? A group of children who grew up seeing their parents love in action? Probably. Healing Help Hope These things are found in community. These 4 guys are the heroes here. The upfront people. One day it will be interesting to see who the background heroes are. #loveinaction #community #inthistogether #walkingeachotherhome #gospelofmark
