God Has Conspired:
To love those who hate Him,
To do good to those who abuse Him,
To serve those who fight against Him,
To embrace those who shun Him,
To accept those who reject Him,
To extend peace to His enemies,
To find those who are willfully lost,
To lift those who have chosen the mire,
To save the sinking,
To wash those who have walked in uncleanness,
To reconcile His enemies,
To forgive repentant sinners,
To set at liberty those who are captives,
To bring justice to the oppressed,
To bring riches to the poor, and
To enable blind eyes to see.
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” Luke 4:18-19 (ESV).
“The Father makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust” (Matthew 5:45b). Be like your Father (v.48).
