Dear God,

While reading the news of rallies by white supremacists, my insides feel anger and chaos.  My heart pumps hot blood through my veins as I consider those who want to be exclusive, priority number one without regard to anyone but themselves.  I want to scream; yet, there is One who hears my cry and invites me in for a quiet chat.

It is at such moments that I know you are God, the god of all people.  Your love extends to all peoples of the planet.  You are not exclusive.  You ask us to love all your children.  That is where it gets sticky for me.  How can I love haters?

While I ponder, reflect and pray, I sit at your feet in the quiet and feel the gentle love your offer.  I find my peace in you.

Loving God,
thank you
for your
quiet kindness.
Thank you
for compassion
that extends
to all.
Thank you
for your message
to love
one another.
Please turn us all
to the light
where the
message of love resides.

Love always, Andrea
