Bono is the man

This is true religion. True religion will not let us fall asleep in the comfort of our freedom. Love thy neighbor is not a piece of advice. It’s a command. And that means a lot. That means a lot. That means that in the global village we’re gonna have to start loving a whole lot more people – that’s what that means. His truth is marching on.
And to those in the church who still sit in judgment on the AIDS emergency, let me climb into the pulpit for just one moment. Because whatever thoughts we have about God, who he is or even if God exists, most will agree that God has a special place for the poor.
God is in the slums, in the cardboard boxes where the poor play house.
God is where the opportunity is lost and lives are shattered.
God is with the mother who has infected her child with the virus that will take both their lives.
God is under the rubble and the cries we hear during war time.
God, my friends, is with the poor.
And God is with us, if we are with them.

I should be doing work but being inspired is an important thing too. Thanks. Wow, his passion is so moving. God I pray so much that my children will not have to see the sadness of slums and and people struggling for breathe for lack of medicine or food. What if we really are the generation to eradicate extreme poverty? I am holding onto hope.
