Our forgiveness of one another has power. It has the power of the mercy of God. Jesus gave us that power.

Together we must bang on the doors of heaven, asking God to come and infuse us with His Spirit so that we will know what to do and how to get through this mess together.

Imagine a world where love came first before power, wealth, control, judgment, and hate. Try to imagine a world where Jesus was the model for how we interact with one another.

The words we speak are an expression of confidence in the loving, compassionate, and healing power of Jesus personally for us.

The leprosy stigma did not end with the community’s condemnation. The leper, him/herself, felt the pain of their unworthiness to be around people.

Sometimes the rock foundation of our faith is found in the simple actions we take to help one another.

The nugget I will hold onto is that faith is precious and should never be treated carelessly.

“Never judge anyone, condemn anyone, blame anyone, or value anyone based on things they do not choose.”
