"I see a brokenness that only Christ can give us the wisdom and power to mend"—New Orleans Saint, Benjamin Watson Weighs in on Baltimore"Tonight I see 'smoke,' but we must address the fire. The response that we are watching is just 'smoke' from years of hopelessness. After each situation the more I am convinced that the love of God for our fellow brothers and sisters who were created in His image, is our only hope for reconciliation."

Recently, Watson commented on Monday’s rioting in Baltimore, and his words are definitely worth repeating. Tonight I see young children, asking like my daughter did earlier, "What's happening daddy", in desperate need of parents to walk them through these disturbing scenes. Tonight I see "smoke," but we must address the fire. The response that we are watching is just "smoke" from years of hopelessness. After each situation the more I am convinced that the love of God for our fellow brothers and sisters who were created in His image, is our only hope for reconciliation. But the only way we can even see him that way is if God illuminates our view and changes our thought process. I'm not talking about holding hands and singing. Love is an action that compels one to treat another with dignity and respect even if they don't deserve it. It pushes for education and opportunities for those in poverty. It gives identity and self-worth. It administers justice without abuse. It honors authority and promotes peace. It is not weak, but strong for what is right!

We, and most importantly, the Body of Christ, must stand for justice in all areas, for all people. We must set the standard for the correct way to treat people. Tonight I pray for the pastors, leaders, police and community of Baltimore. Tonight I #PrayForAmerica.
