That saying “dont cross oceans for people who wouldn’t cross a puddle for you”
Nah, do it. Cross oceans, love people as Christ does. It’s about what you give - not gain.
Jesus, please come heal this land.
Lord, I pray that we as your children, as your people, LEAD IN LOVE. That we LOVE our neighbor. The individual YOU created in your image. I pray for the eradication of racism, and for reconciliation and unity to weave us together in peace.
Do you believe in love? Do you believe in forgiveness? Do you believe in hope? Do you believe in peace? Do you believe in justice? Do you believe in discipline? All of these are exactly who God is. Apart from Him, none of these exist... but God does exist. And He is good.
Jesus said the greatest thing we can do is love God and love others. he didn’t use the word “serve,” he used the word “love.” that says a lot about the heart of God. of course serving is a part of loving, but at the core of it all, Jesus just wants us to love him.
