I've become disgusted with what I have been seeing lately on television. Why? Because humanity is going downhill. The protesters surrounding a bus full of women and children, causing them to turn away, and scaring them because they are "illegals." I quote that term because it's the wrong term to give them. How about the term that they are "desperate" and are seeking "help." I keep asking myself "where is the love?". The good amount of these people would probably identify themselves as Christians, but how can they be Christians when they spew out hate. Jesus told us to love our neighbors as ourselves (Mark 12:31). Apparently, people hate themselves because they sure aren't showing any love.
I have been hearing reports and seeing reports of people claiming that they are "spreading scabies." How ugly?! My grandfather came to this country from Mexico for a better life-not to bring diseases to it or to "inconvenience" anyone. He gave us a better life. We're Americans and have the best opportunities in this country. I have received a college education and have a great paying, non factory job. I have a great family. I have my own place and car. I'm working hard to pay off my bills. Most importantly, I know Jesus Christ. I know who He would have us to be and ugly is not one of them. He wants us to love others. To do good for others. To pray for them. To help them. How can we do this, when we are behaving w/ hate and ugliness.
I am a human being. My grandfather was a human being. We are all human beings that deserve to be treated w/ much respect and love. I'm not disputing the fact that there are some people coming in and committing crimes, but the majority are not. Let's show the compassion. Let's show the love that Jesus showed us.
Your Sister in Christ,
Mary
