Stop It

The world is groaning like a woman in labor…it is crying out in pain…there is a cruel undertone in the earth…and the people of God are seduced into the belief that it is political…we must go deeper and tap into the reality that we fight a very real enemy…who is ancient..and has been honing his skills for many years…I am amazed at how quickly we have embraced divisiveness and leaned into division…I rarely express my thoughts about these types of issues…but my heart this morning mourns for the love of God to grip His people…to remove the blinders from our eyes…to cause us to see that spewing hate to strengthen our platform is offensive to the God that we say we love…my prayer today is Lord…arrest our opinions…cleanse us from self righteous rhetoric that incites those who are unbalanced to act in violent ways…make us ambassadors of peace…remind us that your platform is reconciliation…and that the language you use is love…and keep our dialogue dignified and full of the diety that lives within us…forgive us for speaking from a place of hate and destruction…invade our thought life…and make us lights that draw and not drive…sensitize us to those who may not look…think or believe like we do…but imprint on our hearts that with all the things that make us different…your love for all of us is what makes us the same…if division is what we are sowing…hatred is what we will reap…my mother’s heart is full and sad…I can only imagine what the heart of God feels today😢
