lundi, novembre 01, 2010 May God bless you with discomfortAt easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships, So that you may live deep within your heart. May God bless you with anger At injustice, oppression and exploitation of people, So that you may work for justice, freedom and peace. May God bless you with tears To shed for those who suffer pain, rejection, hunger, and war, 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 the world, So that you can do what others claim cannot be done To bring justice and kindness to all our children and the poor. Amen From http://michaelhyatt.com/the-blessing-of-discomfort.html A number of years ago, I heard a sermon on this exact topic, where the preacher narrated the story of how a poor, crippled, blind lady, upon hearing the cruelty meted out to believers in closed countries, cried, "How blessed are they that encounter such hardship and discomfort to test and grow their faith; woe to us in comfort of little faith!"
