"Love is patient.
Love is kind. It does not envy, It does not boast. It is not proud, It is not rude. It is not self-seeking, It is not easily angered. Love keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil. Love rejoices with the truth. Love always protects. Love always trusts. Love always hopes. Love always perseveres. Love never fails." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 It now seems like that once a week we wake up to more horrible news. More lives lost and more people mourning. More blood shed on school floors and more faces of the victims popping up on the news. More and more hate and loud sounds of gunshots and the sounds of parents falling onto their knees after getting a phone call that there was a shooting at their child's school and no, they can't be dead. A place that was once full of people dancing to music and enjoying themselves now empty with sorrow and grief. The world needs more love. Whether it's to a sibling or a pet, or someone you just met. We need more love, because these things keep happening and nothing is being done about them. While it can't set up laws so these things happen less, it can wrap the arms around a mother who just lost her daughter or tell someone that it will be okay, because they aren't in pain anymore. Love is powerful, to say the least. It's comforting and it helps people and gives them smiles even when they can't see clearly because their eyes are so full of tears. It's a warm embrace to someone who is shutting everything and everyone out. While love might not change the past, it can help in the future. While the government turns away and while the events that happened just a mere few weeks ago are no longer on the news, love still stands. I don't care what you say about the government. "They can't do anything about it," or "it's not going to change anything." We know that, because these things keep happening. Gun control might not do anything but they could at least try because this needs to stop. Love is one of the most powerful things that we have and nobody can take it away from us, no matter how hard they try. To Las Vegas, to Orlando, to Virginia Tech, to Sandy Hook, to Sutherland Springs, to San Bernardino, to Columbine, to Parkland. We stand with you, above all the hate, in love.
