If human lives don’t matter, nothing matters and life is meaningless. The human race does indeed matter — people of every shade of skin, from the womb to the tomb. If all lives matter to you, then the pain blacks are expressing would be heard with compassion, instead of rejected with anger and pride.

If you’re unable to see beauty in every person’s face, you’re overlooking the image of God within them. God created you in His holy image, but temptation tries to corrupt your image into ungodliness.
