Justice is not just the contrivance of men in wigs arguing over technical interpretations of laws in the court, but the soulful expression of the heart of a Creator God who is equal parts truth, holiness and love. To me, justice is more than meting out appropriate punishment for a person's misdeeds. It is ensuring that everyone experiences God's love, and subsequently having the choice to make a decision for oneself whether to choose life or the alternative - eternal separation from that same love.
For this reason, I will give my life away to the pursuit of justice, because my indignation at the culture of the world does not arise from seeing social principles broken, but feeling the broken-heartedness of a loving heavenly Father.
