Again I saw all the oppressions that are done under the sun. And behold, the tears of the oppressed, and they had no one to comfort them! On the side of their oppressors there was power, and there was no one to comfort them. Ecclesiastes 4:1

My pastor asked a question in his sermon yesterday that I think is vital to remember in this battle: “Is there anything worst than taking advantage of and destroying the poor? Yes, what Jesus went through for sinners.” He was hated, despised, oppressed and killed for us. Yet he was without sin. Take comfort in this, Freepers, so we may comfort others. We must always fight this battle with prayer first, not growing weary, realizing we can’t do everything at once and trusting the Lord of Hosts for the victory.
