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
God’s 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 don't think you can do, but,
in
Jesus Christ you'll 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 God’s redemptive work
of
love and healing in God’s place, in and through God’s name,
in
God’s Spirit, continually creating
and
breathing new life and grace
into
everything and everyone we touch.
