"We often ask the question, Why does God permit so much sin and evil in the world? 

The visitor walking the sidewalks of a downtown city amid scenes of moral misery, or the philanthropist threading his way through paths of deep pollution, or the home missionary coming into contact with forms of life that would make angles weep -- all put the question to their heart, Why doesn't God intervene? 

And to each there ought to be one answer: He does interfere, He does intervene, He is at this moment interfering; He is interfering through YOU. 

This is exactly what the Apostle Paul says: "God has given to us the ministry of reconciliation." 

This is a thing we seldom think of in our pessimistic moments. We often exclaim at the sight of flagrant evil, "I wish I were in God's place for one day!" 

Little do we deem that his is exactly what God wishes too. God has asked us to stand in His place, not for one day, but for many days. 

He has asked us to take up His burden - the burden of human sin. He has asked us to interfere fro Him, to act for Him, to strive for Him, to love for Him."
