When God chose to reveal himself, he did so (surprise of surprise) through a human body. The tongue that called forth the dead was a human one. The hand that touched the leper had dirt under its nails. The feet upon which the woman wept were calloused and dusty. And his tears- oh, don't miss the tears- the came from a heart has broken has yours or mine ever has been...
So, people came to him! why? because he refused to be a statue in a cathedral or a priest in an elevated pulpit. He chose instead to be Jesus. Why is it that we can't chose to be the right leaders? The leaders of the innocent, weak and meek? Leaders of the future not past?
We are seating down and watch our daughters get rapped, how young man get killed and our women treated like they never existed. Can we get a leader who will stand up and work for this people? Can we wipe our tears of pride and wear clothes pain and help? Can you look at the pic and tell me what you see? This is a Kenyan mom, has every right to have food and security, health care and shelter. How long can we see this?
