Today’s Scripture…
Philippians 2:2-5
2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. 5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
Thoughts…
Do you want to know how to cure the hatred and violence we are seeing today? We need to learn to follow God’s advice and “in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.”
Yes, we are all different and you know what that is OK. It is OK to recognize those differences, It is OK to celebrate those differences. It is not OK to exclude anyone for those differences. It is not OK to offend someone with those differences. It is certainly not OK to incite violence because of those differences.
I don’t care what color you see. I don’t care what sexual orientation you see. I don’t care what religious beliefs you see. I don’t even care what uniform you may or may not see. I can guarantee you will NOT see someone God does not love!
