“Two Wrongs Don’t Make a Right”

I have waited to post because observing the posts/comments on social media has been so painful. My heart is hurting so much for our world and for the people who are grieving, regardless of where they stand politically. It is also hurting for the hateful comments being spewed out.

Romans 12:15 We are called to share each other’s sorrows and demonstrate Christ’s love to our hurting and broken world. Please join me in setting aside our disagreements and mourn with all who grieve; a response that should spring forth from us for every tragedy, on either side of the aisle.

Yes, some people can point out, “But that is not the response we received when we were grieving.” And I am truly sorry that happened. I grieve for you. But as my Daddy always said, “Two wrongs don’t make a right.”

Don’t respond according to what you have received from others, respond because it is the right thing to do. We can’t control others, we can only control ourselves, and this world will never change if we don’t stop the hatred…one person at a time.

We have lost so much in recent history. Let us quit throwing rocks at each other and come together with respect and love in our common humanity regardless of political affiliation. Jesus prayed for unity because He knew we would need that prayer.

Please join me in praying for our communities to be a place for compassion to flourish, and that we can love each other despite our disagreements. Let’s stop letting hate win.
