Liberation

"If you have come to help me, you're wasting your time. But if you've come because your liberation is connected to mine, then let's work together."

Translation of a quote on www.oneword.nl. It was the heading above an invitation by the Society of African Missions to come help rebuild Liberia.

It's where we reach out to others, that we allow God to reach back to us. You cannot understand suffering just by staring at it, but there is freedom in sharing each other's burdens.
