Ask, Seek, Knock


“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” --Martin Luther King, Jr. 

Today's card speaks to me right now.



Asking for justice, peace, equity, and kindness...seeking them in and for all people...knocking on the hardened hearts of those who defend power and privilege and dismiss the realities of and their complicity in racism.


When will we acknowledge and value our shared humanity, the fact that we are all beloved children of God?

To my white readers, we white people need to stop whining that "all lives matter." Of course they do. That's missing the point entirely. We need to focus on the lives who are marginalized, who walk in fear where we don't, who suffer a million little cuts of racism each and every day that we will never feel. We have to say black lives matter because, on a fundamental level in this country, they don't matter the same. We need to own that, and change our hearts and behavior and the systems of our nation accordingly. Most of all, we need to listen and learn how to do better. 

To my readers of color, after staring at this screen for ten minutes trying to decide what to type, there just aren't any more adequate words that the ones I end each post with. I'm truly sorry.

Mercy, grace, peace, and love,
Susan

    1. MAKE MONEY WHILE AT HOME WITHOUT HAVING TO WORK FOR ANYONE 💰💵💸

      There are so many Scam Adverts that looks like this everywhere in the internet this days. You see some adverts that talk about-:
      ❌Blank Cards
      ❌Binary Option Investment
      ❌Western Union (WU) Money Loading
      ❌Money Gram (MG) Money Loading
      ❌PayPal Account Loading
      And the rest‼️

      I want to use this medium to tell you that these are all lies, they advertise sweet stuffs like this to Entice you and they eventually scam you. Please do not fall for this Scam, and if you have there is still hope to recover all you have lost and even gain more.

      The best way and fastest way to make money, is by Mining the Crypto Currency BITCOIN‼️

      Bitcoin mining is still very much existing, the only issues so many people don’t engage in it anymore it’s because it’s has become very difficult to perform and you gain very little Bitcoin in much time, for this reason so many people have forgotten and abandoned Bitcoin Mining.

      Today, with our newly discovered technology, we have been able to speed up the mining, in less time you make very massive amount of money. You can earn as much as $5000 - $12000 within 3days.

  3. This is AMAZING!! I LOVE the gorgeous quote and the subtle coloring you did on this. As a country, we need to address the marginalized. There is a reason the riots are happening right now.
