Implicit Bias:
refers to the attitudes or stereotypes that affect our understanding, actions, and decision in an unconscious manner. These biases, which encompass both favorable and unfavorable assessments, are activated involuntarily and without an individual’s awareness or intentional control. Residing deep in the subconscious, these biases are different from known biases that individuals may choose to conceal for the purposes of social and/or political correctness. Rather, implicit biases are not accessible through introspection.

Will we choose the new that God has for us or will we choose the normal that we are comfortable with?

Implicit Bias falls short of God's initial vision.

"Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed by thy name. Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven."

Then a despised Samaritan came along, and when he saw the man, he felt compassion for him.

Empathy -- the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.

Empathy takes action!
