Lord, I have fallen again- a human clod!
Selfish I was, heedless to offend;
Stood on my rights. Thy own child would not send
Away he shreds of nothing for the whole God
Wretched, to thee who savest, now I bend;
Give me the power to let my rag-rights goIn the great wind that from thy gulf doth blow.
Under the law of the any land, people have
have rights. They have the right to hold
property, to be rewarded for labor, to appeal
to the court of justice.
God gives no rights. Life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness are his gifts, privileges
loaned us a day. God retains ownership. If
we have rights at all, we have but the right
to give them in service to others.
When Job was stripped of all his wealth he
said, The Lord gave, and the Lord taken
away; blessed be the name of the
Lord (Job 1: 21). He was affirming that
before God he had never had a right to his
wealth. It had been a gift, a trust. Now it
was gone. It would have been absurd for
him to appear before the high court to
reclaim what had never been his.
Once we understand that over against God
we have no right to ownership, only
stewardship, we can stop our jealous
protection of our rag-tags rights. No
longer will my marriage be a grim 50-50
contact/contract that I guard with care; no
longer will my neighbours barking dog send
me to the police. My wife or husband or
neighbor has been loaned to me for my
care. I become an advocate for community
and world justice, not to defend my rights of
the poor and voiceless. Only as we have this
turnabout will life be relaxing enough for us
to have joy and peace.
May our good God
bless you all,
W i th p raye r fu l
regards,
Mothy Achen
