Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death,
so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope.
For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-14
Not good enough. Jimmy, it’s simple. Here’s what you need to say:
“I’m sorry for saying the shooter was MAGA. He was not. He was of the left. I apologize to the Kirk family for lying. Please accept my sincere apology. I will do better. I was wrong.”
We are devastated to learn about the loss of Miss USA 2019 Cheslie Kryst. She was one of the brightest, warmest, and most kind people we have ever had the privilege of knowing. Our entire community mourns her loss, and our thoughts and prayers are with her family right now.
Healing is such a process. And when more hurtful things happen in the midst of our healing, it’s only natural for bitterness to come knocking.
But I’m learning that bitterness doesn’t protect me or prove anything. It only turns me into someone I don’t want to be.
Fulfilling your calling starts with being who God has called you to be and then being faithful with what He puts in front of you. What has God put in front of you?
When God’s Word becomes the filter we see all of life through — including every “what if” that threatens to turn our peace into panic — then God’s promises become our rest. | Gretchen Saffles
