It seems we’ve lost

Not because people are kneeling

Not because people aren’t kneeling

Not because every individual has a different opinion

 

We’ve lost because the expansion of opinion has become more important than the expansion of heart

The meaning of a flag

and the color of ones skin

Have taken priority over inviting people into our lives

Its become more important than loving our enemies

Its become more important than preferring those who have persecuted my opinion

 

We have allowed importance of opinions, and the importance of one’s skin color

To take priority over connecting with individual people

Quite simply, these have hindered us from meeting incredible people

And seeing them for who they are

Or worse yet

hindering them from becoming more of who they were made to be

 

It seems as though the feeling of defeat has come from inside

As a whole, not being willing to accept diversity

The world has never been good with diversity, ever since I can remember

There has always been a tension that has to do with the color of our skin

But now we have digressed into a tension that has to do with the difference of opinion

 

My opinion is right

My opinion is the opinion that you ought to have

And if you don’t, then I don’t agree with you as a person

This right here

Is where we have lost

We have taken our eyes off of True Love

We have made our salvation through education, power, success, and now opinions

Maybe

Just maybe

We are to look past that and invite others to dine at the table where we sit

Maybe we are to invite others to sit at the Lord’s table

Regardless of all differences

Regardless of their meaning of the flag

regardless of the color of their skin

We are all one

I hope we find the courage to live so
