“Black Lives Matter” is not racist at all! It is the cry of disenfranchised people who perceive that their lives lack value. When we say “Black Lives Matter,” it does not mean other lives don’t — they absolutely do — just that our lives matter, TOO!

Apply a little empathy, here: imagine having to answer your children’s question, “Daddy, why do the police keep killing black people?”

This is my reality. Somehow, I have to bolster their faith in God, their trust in humanity, and their hope for a peaceful and prosperous life.

How would YOU deal with this?

Honestly, the lack of empathy among those who purport to be in the Body of Christ is saddening.

Lord, help us…
