When Prayers & Condolences Include 1st, 2nd & 3rd Place: Do You Know What It's Like? | a

Look at these flowers. They are all beautiful. God made them. Some human beings think that they have the positive position to decide who to send their condolences to regarding terror attacks of any kind. The fact that one would sit & actually think about who to place 1st,2nd and 3rd on the list of who to care about is a clear indication that we have a very serious illness within humanity. I don't care what color you are, where you come from & what your excuse is, if you think that disregarding lives over other lives in the midst of all of our troubles is reasonable, you are the exact reason why it's hard to unite humanity. Your thought process on this very thing is mired in your own lack of self love. What if it were you who would typically be in the 2nd or 3rd category? What if you were suffering & afraid? You've suffered in other ways, remember how awful it felt to be left behind only to have someone else go ahead of you? No one was better than you. No one is better than you. Most of you have absolutely no idea what it's like to sit in any kind of setting be it a restaurant, government building, school, church or hospital & suddenly hear gunfire & shouting. You have no idea what it feels like to hear that & have a rippling, weakening feeling in your gut that tells you that you are going to die, be injured possibly beyond repair or witness someone sitting right next to you get shot or stabbed to death. I believe that most if not all of the people who have lost their lives/were injured in such instances, if asked beforehand would have said "I want everyone regardless of skin or ethnicity to pray for my healing or at least my safe travel back home to God."

The next time you decide who is more important to pray for,regard or who to include in your deepest heartfelt thoughts just stop, take a deep soul filling breath & include everyone.
