Jesus taught us, “Unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven (on earth). Whoever becomes humble like a child is the greatest in the kingdom… whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.” (Matthew 18:3-5) Help me change, Lord, and follow your direction like a child.

Oh freedom! Oh liberation! ❤️ 💜

God provides peace, gives us goodness, love, mercy, and a hunger for justice and what is right. We are asked to tell the truth to power and to one another. Lord, help us be bold and of good courage to speak the truth in everything ❤️ 💜

God promises to save us from ourselves; give us many, many kingdom blessings; and turn us into blessings for our world today. God also says, “Do not be afraid, but let your hands be strong.” (Zechariah 8:12-13) Give us strength and courage, Lord, to walk this path with you. ❤️ 💜

Praying for all of us to be “full of the knowledge of the Lord,” especially to understand and have wisdom about how people and creatures and structures CAN change. Help and show us, oh God, how to make “good trouble” and change. ❤️ 💜

Let’s put on the “armor of light” and the way of Jesus, to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God (Micah 6:8).

We are so very blessed to be able to walk with God!! ❤️ 💜

Seek and cherish justice. And “where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Luke 12:34)

My character Petra says: “I feel the Spirit moving in me!!” I (Anni) am praying: Lord, open my ears, my mind, and my heart to live out Jesus’ message of justice, love, and community; to proclaim and lift up God’s kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. Thank you, Lord, for these glorious, amazing gifts!!❤️ 💜

THE JUSTICE SPIRIT FEEDS PEOPLE’S SOULS AND THEIR STOMACHS TOO. IT SEES PEOPLE’S NEEDS AND RESPONDS WITH GOD’S LOVE. THAT IS A HOLY WORK AND GOOD NEWS FOR SURE!!
