Love your kid.
No matter how you differ. Love your kid.
Tell them you do.
Show them you do.
Make sure they know,
even when you don’t love their choices,
even when they don’t share your convictions,
that you love them
and you are there for them.
Right there for them.
This morning in my intercessory time, I prayed with tears for all who weep, all who suffer pain, all who feel despair. I prayed for the hopeless. All those who feel unloved, who rarely have a kind or affectionate word said to them. I asked that Jesus would interrupt this dark season of yours—one you’ve come to think of as definitive of your whole life—with unavoidable light. Healing light. Cleansing light. The light of himself. The Light of the world.
I know the darkness of despair. Boy, do I know what it is like to feel that circumstances will never change and the pain and instability will never end. I am well acquainted with the question, how long, O Lord?
I pray all the things for you. I pray your circumstances will change. That God will bring love into your life in a multitude of ways and carry you away from that howling wilderness, a prisoner of a hope so ridiculously foreign to you, you cannot stop testifying about it. I pray all of those things!
But most of all I pray you Jesus. Because, this side of the veil, troubles will inevitably come. Temptations to return to despair. Pain that we will be tempted to think once more may never end. But Jesus stays. He sustains. He strengthens. He loosens up the laughter burrowed deep in our chests beneath all our worries. Holds our burdens so we can breathe. Play even. Reminds us he is God and we need not try to do his job.
And over and over and over and over and over and over again, he reminds us that no matter who does not love us, who does not see us, who does not care about us, he, the King of the Universe, DOES.
He is the one who daily meets us in our challenges. He is the Sun that rises before daybreak in our morning and in our mourning. And there is healing in his wings.
I pray you Jesus today.
@BethMooreLPM When the question “What’s the point of it all?” has risen in the depths of discouragement and despair I’ve been reminded that LOVE is the point to it all. Love for God, for myself & especially for OTHERS is the point.
You’re confirming the answer whispered back in those moments.
🚨INVESTIGATION: @PaulVallas helped Wall Street loot Chicago's schools with deals that shifted up to $1 billion from schools & to financial firms & investors.
Now Vallas' mayoral campaign is bankrolled by Wall St donors who could profit off more looting. https://t.co/w4K0mWCTbl
@CPDTransit@cta Please add random showing up on rides at night especially on the red line between downtown and Howard. It’s gotten scary for a woman to commute from work in the evenings, especially during the winter months.
@VentraChicago When are you fixing this problem??? Someone is using my card and I’m unable to report it lost or turn off auto load. I’m being robbed and you’re not stopping it or allowing me to stop it.
@VentraChicago I’ve been unable to remove auto load on a lost Ventra card or declare it lost for days (online or app). Someone’s been using it and I can’t seem to be able to do anything about it, what’s wrong with your system??? @cta

.@BethMooreLPM was one of the most celebrated female teachers in the Baptist faith until she spoke out against former Pres. Trump. She opens up to @LinseyDavis about the backlash, her decision to reveal a deep trauma from her childhood and new memoir, “All My Knotted-Up Life.”
.@Cigna, your flawed decision to deny people on your insurance coverage for Relyvrio is inhumane. Your decision impacts real people who are trying to fight a 100% fatal disease. They don't have time to wait. Reverse your decision now. @SenatorDurbin@SenDuckworth@janschakowsky
I love this interview with Dr Wanda Wallace on her Out of Your Comfort Zone Podcast, we delve into how to influence those in positions of power. The best interview I have ever given. https://t.co/oumPJL05bs #naturopathic#wandawallace#cancer#survivor#cancersurvivor
