On Earth As It Is In Heaven

I love the concept of this litttle devotional.
I believe if we want to see Heaven on earth, then we must get.the mentality it isn't about us at all butnabout others and how we treat them and how we make others feel.
I believe the reason why some people are dead set against getting rid of Christian values is because they got hurt either by some one of the faith or they think God doesn't love them because He didn't seem to answer their prayers (which is furthest thing from the truth.)
And there is so much truth in this little devotional but I see the problem is we are not keeping up our end of the bargin and God help us. We need to love people in such a way it will open doors for the Holy Spirit to correct in such a way that not only will make condemnation a thing of the past but will bring about the next move of God and I want to be apart of that move with everything in me.
God Bless.
"On Earth as It Is in Heaven (Justice Movements)"
Isaiah reminds us that God isn’t interested in our spirituality or our church attendance if it is not backed up by treating others right. The church has always been one of the greatest forces for good on the planet, and it continues to hold that kind of potential within its ranks. As we, empowered by God’s Spirit move from our church pews and respond to the truths of Scripture, we can change the world. Some would say it’s great when governments get behind us, and society as a whole picks up on the values of the Bible, but history shows us God has always used his Church whether or not the culture follows. Revival and awakening often occur outside the halls of power or without the popular newspapers of our day taking notice, and that’s just fine. What God can do through one person completely sold out to him is more important than that. We don’t need to wait for the right president, or the right congressmen, or the right media environment to pick up the cause of justice before we decide to do what is right in our own neighborhood, down the street, and on the other side of the world.
The person who follows Christ sees a need and fills it. God has done too much inside of us for us to stay silent or spend all our time protesting—we want to actually do something to make a difference. God didn’t do all that he has done inside of us so we could sit and coast through this life. He wants to bring this life through us to others.
