Justice

Being unjust is far more damaging to the moral structure of a person’s character than enduring the slings and arrows of injustice. (Quoted in Hillsdale College paper)

We hear a lot about injustice today. Some complain they are being treated unjustly when they are confronted with truth that is contrary to their behavior. The person of integrity who tries to treat everyone fairly is sometimes accused of bias and prejudice. Those accusations are hard to bear, but it is far better to accept and withstand them than to be involved in an unjust retort.

God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they will be satisfied (Matthew 5:6). Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed (Proverbs 31:8).
