# Living Psalm 118:1-2, 14-24, Easter_ Bec Cranford Hey Now, Hear This! Let's Give a BIG HUGE applause to God, the God of Justice. We can't shake this promise of loving kindness. Say it, You people of God, "God is loving kindness. God is Justice." God is the place I go to fall apart, and to be renewed.  God continues to rescue. Let the doers of justice proclaim in every place, "God is setting things right!" The strength of the Lord is justice, YES! things are being set right! I thought I would die. I thought I would perish, BUT NOW,  Now I live, and let me tell you about the goodness of God. I have been through fiery trials, but I did not die.  So open up every holy place and  let me shout and dance and proclaim that God's Justice reigns forever.  The doers of Justice gather close to God, God is making things right! I thank God, that in the days when I fell to the dust, I was delivered. I thank God, for answering the cries of the oppressed, and for liberation. So many religious-gatekeepers built their faith off of purity codes, but they rejected the COMMANDS of Justice, and this, this is the only foundation: Justice is What God Wants. What a great day to be about loving the world.  What a beautiful day to charge forth and be happy!
