God Loves Us All, So Why Can't We Love Each Other

Why do we keep fighting this battle against each other?

Black Lives Matter. All Lives Matter. Blue Lives Matter. But let me ask you this, why must we put a label on whose life matters? I've always thought that it was common knowledge that every single life matters, because who am I to say whose life does or does not matte? I'm pretty sure that is a job that God has under control. With everything that has been plastered all over the news and social media I must say, it has been weighing heavily on my heart. If we are friends on Facebook then you can more than likely figure out how I feel about all of the recent events that have taken place.

Please don't misunderstand me here, because I think if you have a good enough cause then protesting is definitely the way to make a change. But I must say that I'm so unsure how blocking important road ways is helping anyone or anything. I don't want to go too far into my opinion because I would really hate to upset anyone. That is most definitely not my goal. But do know that I disagree with the Black Lives Matter events that have been taking place.

Let's take a minute to think about what is really going on. We are calling racism against each other, so yes, racism has appeared. We are judging one another when it is clearly written several times throughout the Bible that only God can judge us. What does God see when he looks at us? He sees the incredible individuals that He created. He sees His sons and daughters. He doesn't see the different colors of our skin, but instead He sees what's in our hearts.

God gave us free will to live our life the way we choose. But we all sin, and guess what? He loves us despite it all! So why do we keep fighting this battle against each other? Why are we not fighting this battle against the devil? God loves every single one of us. He doesn't give up on us when we fall down. So why can't we love each other the same way! The ways of the world will always try and pin us against each other. What we need to do is stand together and concur our differences. Without all of the events that make us look like we all hate each other. Just a thought for the day, we all matter.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
