"My sensitivity to injustice is too much. I should stop caring so intensely."
How it sounds in your head: You get too angry about things that don't affect you. You care too much about issues everyone else ignores. Your passion for justice is exhausting to people. Chill out, stop being so intense about everything wrong in the world. It's not your problem.
"But let justice run down like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream."
-- Amos 5:24Enemy silencing the prophetic fire and justice-heartbeat God placed in you.
People tell him he's too intense or political when he cares about injustice. Friends mock his passion for causes, making him feel like he's overreacting.
Moses saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew and couldn't stay neutral—killed the Egyptian defending the oppressed. Extreme? Yes. God's response? Made him the deliverer of an entire nation. Used his justice-rage to FREE MILLIONS instantly from slavery.
I REFUSE the lie that my sensitivity to injustice is too much. IT IS WRITTEN to let justice run down like a mighty STREAM—God put that torrent in me. I am NOT too intense; I carry the Father's heartbeat for the oppressed, the overlooked, the crushed. IT IS WRITTEN to do justly, love mercy—this is my DESIGN. The Abraham blessing flows through justice—Abraham argued with God to spare Sodom. I will not numb out to fit in. My righteous anger is HOLY, my passion is PROPHETIC, and I will let justice FLOOD through me.
The Father didn't put that fire in you to extinguish it—He lit it to burn down injustice. He's not embarrassed by your intensity; He's ARMING it.
