We Are The Ones Who Have Stayed | Monday Invocation
“We are the ones who have stayed, and I come to reassure us, just as John did, that we are children of God. That is who we are. No matter who comes and who goes, no matter the administration, no matter what attacks folks want to wield against us, know that what you first knew is true–we are children of God, and God loves us.”
