When I was in academia I heard many discussions about how America would be better off if it didn’t have a white majority. Mass immigration from non-white nations was seen as a means to accelerate change. It was part of reimagining America. Now it seems like all the theories once debated at seminars and workshop presentations are becoming realities through public policies and failures to enforce the laws of the land. I was too naive to know that the people around me had the ability to radically change America. I never imagined that the doors to our nation would be propped wide open. I never knew we would go backwards on civil rights enforcement.
Silly, me! 🙃 What was I thinking? I guess I wasn’t thinking hard enough. #Immigration #RuleOfLaw
How many of you need extra peace today?
Jesus is with us now and forever.
He will never leave nor forsake us.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Matthew 11: 28-30 (NIV). #Bible #Peace #Rest #meditation
These verses are more easily posted than practiced. Help me, Lord
“Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.
Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.
Live in harmony with one another.
Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly.
Never be wise in your own sight.
Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all.
If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.
Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”
Romans 12: 14-19 (NIV).
