My group / your group — disdain isn’t sane . . .

True self-esteem never needs someone to look down on and never results in insults. It never needs to criticize other people in order to feel good about self.

My group, your group,
When we jump thru that hoop,
What we lose
Is hard to recoup.

Trying to ease your pain
By looking down on others,
With disdain,
Isn't sane.

Disdain for people
Makes the down-looker's face
Gruff
And his heart hard.

When disagreement
Turns into disdain,
It creates much
Anger and pain.

After centuries of disdain,
It's time for America
To open our heart and say,
"Black lives really do matter."

Christ-followers need to put obedience to the living Jesus and love for one another, above politics or race. God’s looking for humility and repentance, but too many of us are responding with anger and arrogance.

Many amazingly incredible people have opinions (and/or skin color) that differ from mine (and yours). Let’s love one another — even people we consider to be enemies.
