Our Intimate Relationship with God

A burlap banner reading 'love God and neighbor' displayed in a vibrant community garden.

I apologize if I offend people, but I am very disappointed in our political leaders and many of our religious leaders who talk a good game but live a life much different from that which they preach. Throughout the history of the United States, there has been an undercurrent of pure hatred of the other… just simmering, waiting for an evil leader to allow it to surface. We are in the midst of one of those times now.

When we stop and pray and really listen for God’s word, we hear Her words in Lamentations: “Let us test and examine our ways and return to the Lord (3:40).” Our true relationship with God asks us to love the other as ourselves, care for the forgotten by society as if they were kin, and not allow them to feel thrown away.

P.S. I Love You. And I pray you love others.
