When you look at a photo in color you can see vibrant colors and contrast differences. But if you look at that same photo in black and white those differences fade and you can see the beauty of the likenesses.

My heart is broken by the injustice & pain in this world that my brothers and sisters of color suffer. I don’t even claim to fully understand the extent of it. 💔

My heart is broken by the riots and those who have chosen to kill, steal and destroy their neighbors’ businesses, livelihoods and lives. 💔

I don’t have the answers to the nation’s problems, but personally I will seek the Prince of Peace. I will seek Jesus, humble myself and pray, turn from my wicked ways and expect the Lord to heal this land. 💙🙏

As that healing begins I believe it begins with me….

I will choose to look at my neighbors, friends and even strangers through the lens of the black and white photo so I can focus on the beauty of our likenesses, not our differences.

We are all children of God and all have immeasurable value.

I will love the person in front of me. I will take time to listen and understand. I will fight injustice. I will forgive those who hurt me. I will pray for my nation.

…I will love. ❤️
