30 Day Challenge: Verse/Fact of the Day

Hey there everybody!  Wow, I haven't posted in a while, so today I decided that starting today I would post everyday for 30 days.  I will post a bible verse about justice, freedom, and/or loving the least of these, I will also give a fact about slavery and human trafficking.  It won't be easy, but I feel it's something I should do, not only to challenge myself, but to also help those who will read this to better understand what God says about justice. Hopefully by the end of these 30 days, you (And me:) will have God's perspective on loving His children.  So, here goes...

 :Verse of the day:

Isaiah 61:1

(KJV)

 

:Fact of the day:
