Summary

Justice has been a study of mine. through the days. Jesus is a God of just love—equitable generosity and care for all people, all created in His image. Most of all, though, as. Christ followers, we are to exhibit Him in every relationship. He humbled himself to give us everything. We owe all people His love and grace and friendship. And so choosing to pass on racism as a legacy of our lives is not acceptable. if we have given our lives to serve Jesus. Yet we do see hate, small mindedness, violence everywhere.

0:00.0	Hi everyone, welcome to Add Home with Sally. I'm Sally Clarkson and I have the biggest
0:13.0	privilege in the world to be with so many friends from all over the world who join me every
0:18.6	week to listen to my stories, inspiration, biblical encouragement. And I am just so glad
0:24.6	that you're here today. Thanks so much for joining me.
0:37.6	Hello my friends, it's Sally Clarkson at Home with Sally and friends and I come to you
0:43.7	today with just a lot of serious thoughts on my heart and in my mind I know that as I look

1:34.8	deplorable situation, the sad death. But I don't feel like I'm so important in the world or so
1:42.8	wise that I know exactly how to address these situations or this issue. And so I pray that today
1:49.6	when I come to you that you'll know that my heart is to try to say something that is worthy of

2:11.7	that I've been drawn to this week is I've been praying every single day is that God is a God of
2:18.8	justice. And I was looking up a lot of different definitions about justice and why it calls a God
2:26.6	both in many verses that I read that he is just and he is filled with loving kindness. And justice
2:34.3	basically means to bring equity to bring honor to bring goodness and and love into a relationship
2:43.0	in regards to someone else as well as to yourself to to have a just relationship to have a
