“As the Heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts. As the rain and the snow come down from Heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is My Word that goes out from My mouth: It will not return to Me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands. Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper, and instead of briers the myrtle will grow. This will be for the Lord’s renown, for an everlasting sign, that will endure forever.”” Isaiah‬ ‭55‬:‭9‬-‭13‬ ‭NIV‬‬

He knows!! I don’t have to understand- I just need to TRUST HIM! ❤️

At a time when people across our country should be caught up in celebrating Black History Month, we are instead seeing the legacy of racism on full display in the highest office of our country. The pain that this causes and the outrage that follows echo the generations of people who have struggled, fought, and held on to hope for a better future. This is not an isolated moment that can be minimized as a mistake. This is not a joke that went too far. One of the reasons this hurts so deeply is because it is not surprising to see this as the headline story of today.

We have gotten used to being told to look past mean-spirited words spoken against minorities. It has become common to be given excuses to justify actions, words, and posts that are nothing less than abusive. We need to examine whether the high values that so many of us claim in our faith, our families, and to be at the foundation of our freedom are becoming less and less important in our public discourse and treatment of our neighbors. We can not claim to value love in our personal lives yet overlook the hate around us.

If there was ever a time for Gracism, now is that time.

You might be looking for your own personal way to stand for what is right when others are trying to minimize what is wrong. Let me offer three Gracism principles to be your guide.

1. I will STAND with you. This saying of a Gracist can speak volumes to those who feel like they are fighting their battles all alone. Find a way to use your voice to denounce the abuse and your physical presence to show your support.

2. I will HEAL with you. This saying of a Gracist sees empathy and compassion as the starting line. True collective healing from wounds like the ones we see being inflicted, includes knowing that you hear the cries of their pain and it moves you to a genuine heartbreak to see your brother and sister being treated this way.

3. I will CELEBRATE with you. This saying of a Gracist is something that should not be forgotten at this moment. Black History Month is a time when the achievements of Black Americans, cultural beauty, and stories of overcoming can be uplifted and celebrated in a way that communicates dignity, value, and brotherhood.

I commend you to this critical, challenging, and deeply valuable work of Gracism.

Lift, Cover, Share, Honor, Stand, Consider, Celebrate, Heal. Dont be a racist, be a Gracist.

When you are feeling low, forgotten, disposed, and unforgivable- be reminded that you too can throw away your little “g” gods and run into the arms of El Qanna, the GOD WHO IS JEALOUS FOR YOU!!

God’s jealousy is not like human jealousy.

Human jealousy is insecure.
God’s jealousy is protective.

Human jealousy is rooted in fear.
God’s jealousy is rooted in love.

Human jealousy says, I’m afraid you’ll leave me.
God’s jealousy says, I refuse to let what destroys you take you from Me. ❤️
