“Life is an uphill battle. But it’s our choice whether or not we make it up the mountain. We can choose to give up or keep climbing to see the view at the top. The view is almost always worth the climb.”-Alexis Wohler. God put this saying on my heart when I was going through […]

Intro: “We all bleed the same. We’re more beautiful when we come together. We all bleed the same. So, tell me why, tell me why. We’re divided. ”
First verse: Toby Mac: “Woke up today. Another headline. Another innocent life is taken. In the name of hatred. So hard to take (hey!) And if we think that it’s all good. Then we’re mistaken. ‘Cause my heart is breaking. Mandisa: Are you left? Are you right? Pointing fingers, taking sides. When are we gonna realize? We all bleed the same. We’re more beautiful when we come together. We all bleed the same. So, tell me why, tell me why. We’re divided. If we’re gonna fight. Let’s fight for each other. If we’re gonna shout, let love be the cry. We all bleed the same. So, tell me why, tell me why. We’re divided. ”
The lyrics of the first verse hit home. Why can’t we open our eyes, ears, minds and our hearts to see that we are all the same? Sin often blinds us to the incredible love that is burning within each and every one of us. We are all the children of the most high and we so often fail to treat our brothers and sisters with the love, care and respect they deserve. When we get disrespected, then we often turn to anger and then turn our anger on others around us. Instead of fighting with each other, lets fight for one another. Instead of shouting in anger, lets make the cry of our hearts, love. Let’s do our best to remember how God treats us and showers us with blessings every day. Let’s try to be that light in someone else’s life. We need to remember that love is the only way to go about our lives and to not put hatred on top anymore. Hatred won’t get us anywhere.
The bridge speaks for itself. Love is the ultimate weapon against hatred. Even though it is difficult, try to see what others are going through, in their own eyes. We should fight for one another in the name of faith and love, instead of always fighting with one another.
Chorus: “We all bleed the same (we all bleed the same). We’re more beautiful when we come together (let’s stand united!) We all bleed the same (we all bleed the same). So, tell me why, tell me why. We’re divided. If we’re gonna fight. Let’s fight for each other (fight for each other!) If we’re gonna shout, let love be the cry (be the cry!) We all bleed the same (we all bleed the same) (bleed the same). Let’s stand united (let’s stand united). Let’s stand united!”
Kirk Franklin: “So, Father God, I pray. That our families will come together right now. And seek Your face. You will forgive our sins. And You will heal our incredible land. In the name of the only Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.”
Lets stand united with each other and turn to love, not hate!
