We Can Come Together and Choose Peace and Love (And Lilly Pulitzer)

John 1:11 Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.

Let’s be realistic. We all have darkness inside of us; it is part of what makes us human. To be angry, to be jealous, to be disgusted, is to be human. These emotions are not “bad” or “evil”. The feeling itself is innocent. It is human.

What makes us who we are is how we choose to act and speak on our thoughts, emotions, and instincts. How we act on them, and how we use our voice.

Behaving offensively only fuels the fire in the outside world and within us.

However, water distinguishes a fire. So instead of choosing to fight fire with fire, lets choose kindness. Let’s choose productivity. Let’s choose love. The world needs it. The world needs love. The world needs water. The world needs us.
