Love as the Key to Racial ReconciliationEsimerkki

Examine Yourself

This can be tough. What’s in your heart? What’s in your mind? Is it pure? Do you have a heart after Christ? Do you love all of your neighbors? Do you have any biases? 

In examining your heart, have you discovered something not pure? If so, you are human. The solution is to repent of sin, ask for forgiveness, and move on with your newly changed heart and mind. With that renewing of your mind, you can find peace.

Before you can plant the seed, the soil must be fertile. After you plant the seed of wanting to do more, and being ready to love (including wanting reconciliation), then you water it by listening and learning. 

Then and only then can true growth, reflection, and change take place. Then and only then can you get to a place where your love for everyone can truly be displayed!

After all, what you water will grow and flourish.
