Lovely reminder to pray “Help me to see as You see” and that a lot of times with Our Father it’s not which choice we make but why. Thanks for this message!
I've also been thinking a lot about combatting race issues this year. A few weeks ago, I decided to tell 10 random people (varied in ethnicity and gender) that they were loved. I feel many need and want to hear it in this time. I found that about half the people were very appreciative, ~3 didn't know what to make of it, and ~2 could not get away fast enough. Lol. But, in doing this, it really made me take a look at what I thought might be the cause of my love for people to be deemed as unworthy or unwanted. Did I feel like I could not pass on this positive energy because I'm African American, a woman, or of a specific socioeconomic status? Gaining this introspective knowledge about how I felt my love would be received helped to realize, all the reasons I felt my love would be ill-received are actually superficial. This was a powerful realization, one that comes from the self: I have the right to walk around and give this positive energy to the world. I feel that knocked down many barriers I've put on myself, and I feel it could allow for many to see that we as people have the right to spread and accept love no matter what we look like. Makes our prospects seem more boundless when we focus less on what it's supposed to look like. So, to tie this to God and today's message, His teachings are centered around love. If we alter our perspective around giving and receiving love as freely as we can, I believe many of our problems can be remedied.

Yes sometimes everything seems overwhelming like depression can't seem an end to it. Jesus still there.

We're praying with you!

Thank you for sharing this Alisa...
@@lindatoyota6907 No problem, I've made edits to tie it back to today's message.
Did you tell them who loves them?
