“In my opinion, the Bible is clear about what God expects from His people. In Proverbs 31:8 we are told to, “Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute.” This commission speaks heavily to my heart as I work with people who are without homes and “normal” living conditions. The condition of being homeless isn’t simply defined as someone who doesn’t have a home; it is someone who is incapable of living under those conditions because they are unable to be loved or unable to feel the hope that Christ has for them. These conditions can only be met through a passion for people and a passion to see wholeness and restoration. It is out of this mindset that I strive to continually do just as God commands His people in providing a voice and bringing justice to those who have no means of attaining it. I love because I have been loved and it is the only thing that makes sense in a world so full of hurt and hopelessness. A popular song speaks of God’s justice flowing like the Ocean’s Tide. This tide is powerful and it is moving. Through awareness and the pure power of love, we are seeing God’s tide of justice and mercy moving like never before!”
