Healing Isn’t Colorblind: Why My Love Begins with Blackness
The love I exude for Black people—PGM!—can be felt by everyone. It’s not selective, because love—true, divine, holy love!—knows no bounds. My love is God’s love.

This is the one life I have. And I want to live it. Out loud. Boldly. Courageously. Not just in word, but in action. Not just by faith, but by works.
To overcome addiction is to slow down enough to notice: Why am I reaching for this? What am I trying not to feel?
Courage is doing what you know you need to do… Even when you don’t know what the outcome will be. You might know what you want it to be, but no one can promise that’s what it’ll actually turn out to be.
The meetings weren’t wasting my time—I was. I had been squandering the opportunity to love, to connect, to lead.
Love– My love is patient, kind. It always protects, trusts, hopes, and perseveres. Love never fails. So don’t fail him—or Me! Cast your cares onto Me, so when you are with him, you can be who he needs you to be. Not you—but Me in you!
How many times in our life do we set an expectation and then, within moments—within breaths—forget that we said we were going to do something different? That we were going to do something that would require something different of us?
Why worry when I can pray? Why worry when I can safely forget because You—the God who knows, hears, and sees ALL—will and does remember?! Thank You, God, for this freedom. For this liberation. For this knowing. For this understanding.
I do not call it love when someone I’m dating neglects me. So why would I call it love when I neglect myself? Neglect is not love—not when it comes from others, and not when it comes from you.
This is why we keep losing ourselves in love: because we search for something outside of us that can only be found within. The more I love myself, the more I experience God. And the more I experience God, the more I experience heaven on Earth.
