| Coming together to show love |
Last Tuesday I read a news story about one of
the Jewish cemeteries that had been vandalized.
As terrible as these events are, I have come to respect people on all
sides of the issue who came together to support their Jewish neighbors. I even
read about a Muslim
activist named Tarek El-Messidi, who called on people of the Islamic faith to help
out. El-Messidi’s community raised over $138,000,
which more than covered the cost of repairs to one of the cemeteries. This stood out to me, because there are so
many examples of faith communities fighting against one another. Faith has been used to divide instead of love. This story inspired me. I hope we as a church can show a radical
grace and love that reaches around the world.
This week we are entering into the Lenten
Season. This is a season of reflection,
but it is also a season of hope. As I
look out at the world around me, I know there are problems, but I believe in
hope. I believe if we come together for
the sake of love, we will discover the power of the church. Today, I hope and pray that you would be able
to find God’s Love wherever you are!
Blessings!
