Forgiveness. Jeffree Starr. DragCon Experience.

Description

Hi everyone.
Show More Hi everyone.

So I decided to make a video about forgiveness and why I chose to forgive Jeffree Starr for his racial remarks and antics as a black African woman.

I do not agree with the bad behavior. What I tried to convey is that we should pray for people even when they act poorly in the hopes that they can become a better version of their current selves.

I am well aware that a lot of people and WOC do not like him. And I get it. And I also hopes that he learns to weigh his words more carefully. Because certain insults really cut to the core of someone's being and humanity. Jeffree, words can really damage people for prolonged period of time. So as a leader, you must be mindful of what comes out of your mouth. Leaders build people up, they don't tear them down. It's not right. I truly pray for your soul and the condition of your heart. You were born to affect the world and you can be a positive influence if you try harder.

So hopefully, you guys can receive what I am saying without having an averse reaction. Forgiveness does not mean we legitimize or approve poor actions. No. It means we give up the right to get even, to hurt back, to hate as well, to seek revenge in the hopes of building a better community.

As a Christian, this is a great opportunity to demonstrate the love of Christ and the power of fellowship. Jesus is my Lord and Savior. And He rewards those who diligently seek Him and His Righteousness.

Also if you have a hard time forgiving people, I pray that you ask the Holy Spirit to teach how to forgive.

I also want to address anyone who is homosexual that has been deeply hurt by the church. Jesus is not religion. Jesus is not man. Jesus is love. Please rekindle your relationship with Christ. I will make a video on the subject. But just know that Jesus loves you. He died for you.

Lastly, I pray for the USA and for healing amongst all. May God teach us all to appreciate this nation that we have. It's not perfect; but it's not perfect because of us. We all have a part to play in our great our nation we become.
