Its only been a little over a day. 9 people were killed by evil. And already the attention is instead being diverted to the race war. I don't understand why people are making this about race! It has absolutely nothing to do with race. Ya, the guy said it was because they were black. So what? Do you trust him? The devil disguises himself as an angel if light. That dude sat with those people for an hour learning about God. And then opened fire. He was a wolf in sheep's clothing. He chose a church for a reason. It wasn't about black or white. It was about holy vs. unholy. He targeted the Godly. He was being used by the devil to create fear and hate. He struck a chord he knew would do it. Already, those lives lost are being forgotten in this storm of black and white. For once, can't we just see the victim as a victim instead of black? And the shooter as a shooter instead of white?
If we allow him to let hate into our hearts, we are no better than him. It is our duty as Christians to pray for him. Love thine enemies. We need to be the light in this lost and perishing world. We need to show people the right way. The good way. The only way. Join me in prayer.
Dear Lord,
Thank you for your blessings. Thank you for your love in times of strife. It's my prayer that through me, you can reach people. You can stop the hate. Lord, I lift up the shooter in prayer that he may gain redemption through confessing to you and asking you for sincere forgiveness. I also pray that the families hurt by the murders can rest in the knowledge that their loved ones are with you now. Please Lord, don't let this turn into black vs. white. Let it be shown for what it truly is, Good vs. Evil. Help us all to guard our hearts from the hate that is so tempting. I know it seems like the only thing to do, but you tell us to love our enemies, so please help us do so.
Don't let the victims be forgotten. Let this stand as a testament to THEM and to YOU. Please help us fight evil.
In the name of Jesus.
Amen
