What if love, not hate, was our first response? What if we prayed for those who hurt us, gave without holding back, and showed mercy instead of judgment?

Jesus said: "Love your enemies. Pray for those who mistreat you. Give to everyone who asks of you. Stop judging. Stop condemning. Be merciful."

Imagine the transformation—our homes filled with peace, our nation strengthened by compassion, our world healed by grace.

It is not easy, but with God's help, it is possible. And it starts with us—right here, right now. One act of love. One prayer. One moment of grace.

May we all take that step together today. With God's grace, we can each do our part to bring light into the darkness.
