Bringing Beauty From Ashes; Having been redeemed, May the LORD be Glorified in my journey up from the ashes of child sexual abuse and rape ~ Isaiah 61:3

When I was Muslim, I compared Muhammad’s last words to Jesus’ last words.

Not just the facts, but the spirit behind them.

And bro, the difference is staggering. It shook my devout Muslim faith.

According to Sahih al-Bukhari, Muhammad’s final words included: “May Allah curse the Jews and the Christians. They made the graves of their prophets into places of worship.”

Those are words associated with his final moments.

No forgiveness. No reconciliation. No peace.

Now compare that to Jesus.

Beaten, betrayed, tortured, hanging on a cross with nails through His wrists, Jesus says:

“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

And then: “It is finished.”

One dies speaking curses.

The other dies extending forgiveness.

One ends by drawing lines and reinforcing division.

The other tears the veil and reconciles heaven and earth.

And whether people like it or not, final words reveal something deeply personal about the heart.

That contrast shook me.

Because one man’s final moments reinforced separation, while the other’s changed eternity through mercy, sacrifice, and love.

Please sit with that honestly.

@ChrisCuomo we'd love to talk to you about the post-COVID #POTS research we're working on with the top experts. POTS impacts 1-3M Americans, but was largely ignored until COVID patients started developing it. Learn more at https://t.co/BJTa6J5szt and https://t.co/BYH9JsedgZ

@CamEdwards I’m wondering what happens if you don’t have internet now that you can’t go hang out where there is WiFi.

It's super annoying that gas is very cheap while I have no where to go.

The good thing about being a Jesus follower is that we never go anywhere he doesn’t go 1st. We may have no clue where all of this is heading but he knows. We’re the generation he chose to walk right behind him in it. We walk in the shadow of the Almighty. He is calm. He is King.

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

Helps to remember the objective:

We’re staying in
so we can go back out.

We’re staying apart
so we can get back together.

We’re loving one another
WELL

So we don’t make one another
SICK.

All our hard todays
are for a lotta happier tomorrows.

@CHILD_USA AZ is doing the same!

[maryoday @flux613]

This is seriously crazy making since we are so aware of what secrets do. People are already panicking, and they think staying silent will solve that? 😡

[Tim Lennon @sflennon]

Public awareness and safety go hand in hand.
. . . Secrets to protect the leadership is contrary to our good health.

White House told federal health agency to classify corona virus discussions.

Statute of Limitation (SOL) laws block criminal & civil case against predators & institutions (Boy Scouts, Catholic Church, Hollywood, athletic teams-Mich). Average age of victim of child sex abuse remembering abuse is 52. W/o reform victims cannot receive justice.

GUILTY.

I stand with the survivors.

Time. Is. Up.

[maryoday @flux613]

May your message resound throughout the world, and may at least one Vatican official be so moved they have to respond. You five will be carrying thousands on your shoulders, may your strength be more than the pain!

[Tim Lennon @sflennon]

Going back to the Vatican to demand justice for those who have been sexually abused by Catholic clergy. 5 SNAP leaders join survivors from Argentina, Italy, Canada and others.
