I am a believer, a Christian, a follower of Jesus Christ. Seeing the video of George Floyd brought me to tears that another human being would treat another human being in such a way. What is unfortunate is the acts of one man is raised to the level of saying all of society is to blame. Growing up I was taught a song "Jesus loves the little children, All the children of the world, red, brown, yellow, black and white they are precious in His sight Jesus loves the little children of the world."
I live in the United States and I realize I am speaking on an issue that happened here in the US. I also know this will be seen worldwide. I have seen the atrocities all over the world pertaining to human life.
Yes, I believe all lives matter! I said before I am a follower of Jesus Christ, and that hatred, division, confusion and destruction does not come from God. Today I am reminded of the passage in Romans written to the Christians.
Romans 12:2 The Message (MSG)
Place Your Life Before God
12 1-2 So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.
Romans 12:2 King James Version (KJV)
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
My message today is do not get caught up in the propaganda of this world. Get caught up in the "Good News" of Jesus Christ and that he gave his life and conquered death so that all who choose to believe will not perish but have everlasting life.
Don't let the culture around you drag you down, let God bring out the best in you!
God Loves You, Grace and Peace Be!
