February 9th – BHM 2026

I want to remind us of the importance of perspective—how it shapes the way we encounter the world, express ourselves, and embrace one another.

Because of our physical and human limitations, our vision will always be slightly skewed. Someone or something will inevitably fall outside our frame. This isn’t a judgment; it’s simply an honest acknowledgment of our condition.

Yet the grace of Christ, when received with humility, lifts us. It grants us the ability to cultivate both compassion and clarity toward others—especially those we find most different from us, and most difficult to love.

So, my prayer for us today is simple:

Lord, lift us up by your grace, that we may see others with the same compassion and generosity with which you see us. Grant us the grace to truly see—and to be moved with compassion toward—everyone you place in our path.

⁴ But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, ⁵ even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— ⁶ and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, ⁷ so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.  

(Ephesians 2:4-7)

LORD, lift us and grant us a new and better perspective today!

Good Morning, I love you all!
