“It’s Personal” by Katie Wilson
Our City is making it personal. Silence is deafening when hearts are hemorrhaging. Lord, we don’t know what to do, but our eyes are on You.
George Floyd is my son. It’s personal. Until we start looking at news stories as if they are our children’s diaries, we will never be able to be a part of truly loving the world. As followers of Christ, the only appropriate response to injustice is to personally step into the lives of others, feel their pain, cry their tears, bear their burdens, lay our lives down for the life of another as if life depended on it. BECAUSE IT DOES!
George Floyd is my son. He is your son too. Until we start making it personal, we remain part of the problem.
**Please take the time to watch and embrace this conversation between Kirk Franklin, Matt Crouch, Robert Morris, and Dr. Tony Evans. May we go to the grave ever learning, growing, stretching, engaging, becoming, and embracing the hard, uncomfortable, and risky business that calls for us to be catalysts of change in the mighty and matchless Name of Jesus Christ.
