I care about you. I understand your struggles and your fears. My pain may be different from yours, but we all go through difficult times and we need someone to listen to us. Listen beneath the words. Don’t be fooled by smiling faces. You can’t see a breaking heart, but you can hear it. You can’t love people without listening to them. Last year hate crimes in America spiked 17%. That is unacceptable! Love your neighbor of a different social status, race, religion, or sexual orientation. Linger beside them to hear their struggles. Don’t try to fix their problem or minimize their pain. Just link arms and walk with them. That’s loving your neighbor. Seriously, what the world needs now is love! Not just for some, but for everyone. Not just a cliché’ or silly words to a song, God mandates it!
