In Christ we ow to serve the weak and lobby for the dispossessed. 4 And if we find out how and when to show them they are not alone, we will not proudly be their voice, but humbly help them find their own. 5 Their kindness, anger, or distrust are angels, calling us to see the fear, the need to have and hold, that frame our own captivity. 6 In Christ we live, and life is more than learning love and doing good, so praise, and pray, and trust in God who makes the earth our neighborhood.
