EDITED FOR TRUTH’S’SAKE.

“ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13:6-7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Good morning Wonderers:

Truth always protects, trusts, hopes and perseveres. I did four blocks for truth because you need all four components for it to be complete.

Today we honor Martin Luther King, Jr. a man whose wish was to end discrimination. We have come so far since his death but in so many ways we have not progressed at all. I witnessed a situation in my neighborhood the other day. A teenager wanted to get some work within the community and posted an add. She was looking to earn income for college. She posted the add with her picture and waited for responses. Several days later she removed her picture and exchanged it for one of a different race. Within a short period of time, the responses started rolling in. I am not going to make a scene about the races that were in question here, I want to talk about how disappointed this young woman was in the results of her experience. What is happening here? When will we learn?

In my hometown there is a sign on an incoming highway that says, “No Room for Racism.” It that were true, why do we need a sign declaring it? It should be apart of our personal truth for there is no fear in love. My mother taught us to be wary of all people because of the era she came up in. She still never discriminated by race. Her thought process was give every one a chance until they give you reason. I raised my children to love everyone. Choose your friends by what the heart says not whether they are black or white, heavy or thin, rich or poor. God does not want us to discriminate. He is preparing us for a new existence. There is no need to live in fear of our differences. I can sum it up in one sentence: God will protect you if you trust in him and put your hopes in him and together we will persevere. I’m am so confident and I am so convinced that Jesus will come through for the good of the nations. He has never let me down and he never will.

Are you confident in Jesus?

Glory to the Lamb!

Have a blessed day and thank you for perusing.
