Justice Seeking: Tackling poverty and inequality

Our reflections tie in with the Justice Seeking Church material that churches are being encouraged to use during June. You can find out more here.

God's love for those who are less fortunate is shown throughout the bible, not least by Jesus, who spent time with those who were poor and marginalised, from shepherds to fishermen to the chronically ill. Sadly, our world still doesn't prioritise those with the least resources and the most vulnerability.

Reflect on how well you know your local community. Maybe you could walk around the area and look for things you haven't previously noticed. Where is there poverty and inequality, either obvious or hidden? Pray about how you or your church might be able to work with those affected to help them life fulfilling lives.
