Devotional 6/19/20

06.19.20 | Love | by Rev. Norman Thomas Jr.

    hen you really love someone, they shouldn't have to force you to stop doing things that you know are offensive to them. If it causes them pain or creates an issue, stop doing it. If you would rather quit your relationship or job, instead of changing the behaviors that are causing other people harm, you are being selfish. No one should ever have to beg you or throw a temper tantrum in order for you to give them the same respect that you give another person or group of people. Racism and discrimination are huge problems in our society, but the root of the issue is a lack of love. God's love in us would never allow us to purposely offend or cause others harm. God bless!
