Are You for Me or Against Me?

Whoever is not with me is against me. Silence (hiding) is complicity. We are not called to tolerate or accept, but rather to celebrate every identity God so intentionally created. Not equality, but equity. Don’t be a “voice for the voiceless;” choose to listen to the voices we’ve silenced.

Whoever does not gather with me scatters. Gather communities to build relationships. Gather our voices and vote. Gather around a table that has a seat for every person. Gather to grieve and atone for our history of oppression. Gather to co-create.

Today’s psalm is “If today you hear God’s voice, harden not your hearts.” This repeats Jesus’ invitation to be with him. To gather. To Love. Liberating love. ~ Elise Gower ~

For Reflection:

• Where do I hide? Why do I hide?

• How is Jesus inviting me to love?
