Just been to a pretty big event over here. My church, The Vine Church Hong Kong, hosted this year's Justice Conference Asia, which happens to be my first JCA as well, and for 2 and a half days, speaker after speaker came and shared about three things: i) what is Justice in God's heart, ii) their work in different parts of Asia (and Australia), and about what we can do to help the cause, and there's been so much inspiration and information (overflow) that I probably can't piece together a good reflection until much later. However, it has already started causing changes in my views, my faith, as well as my calling, and I can't help getting excited about it.
In a nutshell, Justice is treating people the way that God intended them to be treated. And that basically means loving them as the beautiful individuals that God made them to be, and honouring them, and giving them a place in the world. It's not hard, because you don't have to go all the way across the world and love an abandoned child or a victim of sorts in order to do this, you just need to start at where you are and love any unloved, unwelcomed person you meet. It's still super hard to do, but so long as you're willing, you can ask God to change your heart.
I've also been receiving a lot of direction from God about what He might be calling me to do in the near and distant future, and I'll be writing about that soon.
