Romans 12:14-16...Bless and Do Not Curse...

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.  Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.

We hear a lot these days about inclusion and making sure everyone has the same opportunity as others. The premise is good even though the intentions are not always sincere. We should look at everyone with open eyes and open minds and not be afraid to rejoice, mourn or associate with anyone. We should not be so proud that we think we are better than others. We are taught to love by God who loved us so much He sent His Son to die for our sins. We do not have to believe what everyone believes or adopt lifestyles or sins as our own but we are called to love one another and to show compassion and mercy at every opportunity. Through your love and through your compassion for others you show what Christ means to you…
