Love as He loves. With endless compassion and hope. Unreasonably.

God needs us to show up, but he doesn’t need us to show up everywhere. Remember you matter, and God wants you to take care of yourself too.

Seeing others with agape love frees from judgment and heartache. It allows for self-protection while promoting generosity and creativity.

While we should strive to offer comfort and healing, it’s okay to acknowledge our human need for respite and distraction.

Good people trying to make the world a better place are all around us sharing their light. And the light of Jesus Christ will shine through.

Christ guides us, leads us, keeps and loves us through the dark of night and into the bright light of day.

Christ’s healing power is real and divine, as seen through the actions of his disciples.

Christ, who loves us enduringly, promises that He will fill us with His love for others, including the ability to endure in love.

Ultimately, we have to know when we need to lay this grief down at the feet of Him who is greater than us.

The Savior shares our burdens, making us never truly alone. In times of loneliness, remember the love and prayers of those who care.

To truly follow the Savior, we must see others as he sees them, recognizing their inherent goodness and sacredness.

The call for us today is to find our place in the story and work to build Zion/ the Beloved Community in our communities.

True patriotism lies in loving and serving others, showing gratitude, and recognizing the sacredness of this land.

As we love our neighbors and see them as God does, we acknowledge their humanity and build the beloved community together.

We must actively repair and strengthen our relationships and communities to participate in the gathering of Israel and the building of Zion.
