LOVE A LITTLE LOUDER
In case you haven’t noticed…let me elucidate.
There is a battle going on today…between love and hate.
A hate that has spread like wildfire and seems at this moment to be out of hand…
It’s burning everything within its path…creating destruction and division across the land.
We are currently at a crossroad…which will determine our country’s history
We are at this moment deciding the kind of country we want to be.
Will love, kindness, acceptance and generosity be our guide…
or will it be hate and bigotry…
one of these roads leads to freedom…the other to tyranny.
It’s ironic that some of this hate is fueled by people’s perception of a God…
they believe guides them from above.…
Ironic because that God’s message has always been
one of generosity, acceptance and love.
The sounds of this hate are deafening…bullets flying, bombs dropping…
loud voices attacking anyone they see as different…
for hate cannot survive…cannot flourish unless it has someone else to hate.
and those who hate mistakenly believe only they are great….
Hate is angry, enraged…furious…. always ready for a fight…
Love is usually a little quieter, softer…more like a whisper in the night.
But If we are going to defeat this hatred…then we must show love even more…
If fact we must love a whole lot louder…than we’ve ever loved before.
It’s time for love to stand up and not be afraid to fight….
to raise our voices in the day…
and when we have to…begin shouting in the night!
Our love must come together and flood their hatred…
washing it away…so there will be no doubt…
because only by combining and blending the waters of our love…
can we put the flames of hatred out.
