india trip.

The India trip was like a huge constant feast, and we were treated like royalty. (Heaven will only be a crazy infinite times more awesome. and there won't be the upset stomach illnesses.) Even though I enjoyed it all, deep inside I didn't feel comfortable. It didn't seem right. The juxtaposition of the slums right up next to the expensive apartment complexes with their swimming pools only made it worse.

For I consider that the sufferings [and material riches] of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

(Romans 8:18-23 ESV)

Christ will return to restore all things. to set things right. In the meantime, God works through the body of believers to bless all people. There are things we can do for 'the least of these'.
