Kate's Blogs on Health and Spirituality

Injustice is the outcry for much of the world today. It seems to adversely affect individuals from every walk of life and every corner of the world. Debra Chew, a colleague who writes about the connection between thought, spirituality and wellness, offers a unique solution that has been proven to be successful in neutralizing injustice of every kind. Debra shares a recent experience she had that reveals how looking at an unjust situation from a spiritual perspective and turning to prayer blessed everyone involved. Read how she applied the law of God that supplies the perfect answer to any adverse situation.

While many of us live in an environment full of hope, opportunity, honesty and joy, others in our world face unjust situations every day. But no matter how blatant or subtle the injustice is, an understanding of the love that is God - divine Love - can be a big help toward resolving unjust situations.

A few years ago, my teenage daughter asked, “Mama, will you have lunch with me on Wednesday?” And, over the course of the next few days, she kept asking if I could specifically have lunch on Wednesday. Finally, I realized there was more to this than her desire for take-out food.

Upon further questioning, I discovered she had received a disciplinary “dot” because I had kept her math book home for homework. On Wednesday, students with no “dots” would be permitted to have a special lunch in the classroom. Because of my actions, she would have to eat alone. “It’s not fair!” she insisted. While I kind of agreed, I saw this unintentional mistake as a perfect opportunity to teach her something about healing injustices.

Today, those words “It’s not fair!” ring out around the world - from the war crimes in Darfur, to the poor living conditions in Iraq, to the lack of social rights in Egypt, to women’s inequality in Yemen, to the repression of human rights in North Korea, and even to the ills of poverty in small Appalachian towns in the United States. With such sobering world situations, what caring individual doesn’t yearn to help? We may not have the opportunity for political or social activism in remote parts of the world, but we can play a part in helping to correct human injustices through spiritual activism.
