Emmanuel—God is with us. Really? Is this true?
During these last few years political uprisings, poverty, harsh climate change, COVID-19, and endless hate crimes have taken a toll on almost everyone.
Nonetheless, God is with us. And we as Christians can reassure the rest of the world of this in one simple way: In our actions.
We may be called to act in different ways, but for me, I will wave the pride flag in support of the LGBT community and stand against gun violence, unapologetically proclaim Black Lives Matter, raise awareness of the refugee crisis, and water the sunflowers of Ukraine.
So, yes, Emmanuel-God is with us. And he always will be.
