Yesterday I saw something that made my heart sink—not because I didn’t expect it, but because deep down I had hoped for better. News broke that President Trump is allowing in 58 white refugees from South Africa, and instead of celebrating the rescue of human beings—God’s creations—the Left is up in arms about it. Not because they’re against refugees per se, but apparently, because these particular refugees are white.
I had to sit with that for a moment.
For years, I’ve heard the Left shout that “refugees are welcome,” that “America is a land of immigrants,” and that “no human being is illegal.” So why is it different now? Is mercy only righteous when it aligns with a political narrative? Is compassion only acceptable when it checks the right identity boxes?
“For God shows no partiality.” —Romans 2:11
Lord, You are not swayed by skin tone, nationality, or social class. You see the heart, the need, the soul. Why can’t we do the same?
I’m not here trying to defend every decision Trump has made. But what I can’t ignore is how quickly compassion is questioned when the recipients are white. It’s like being white disqualifies you from pain or persecution in the eyes of this world. But persecution doesn’t ask for skin color—it strikes where evil thrives.
“There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” —Galatians 3:28
People talk about equity and fairness, but they don’t want fairness—they want revenge disguised as justice. It’s heartbreaking. What happened to just loving people?
Prayer 1:
Lord Jesus, open my eyes wider and cleanse any bias within me. Help me love like You, without filters, without conditions. Give me discernment in a world full of lies.
What I’m seeing is the fruit of a culture that has lost its moral compass. It’s not even about politics anymore. It’s about spiritual decay. When people hate mercy, something’s wrong. When people cheer for destruction, we’ve left the Gospel far behind.
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness.” —Isaiah 5:20
They say they want love, but then hate those who look a certain way. They say they want inclusion, but then exclude people for being the wrong kind of oppressed. It’s all backwards.
Prayer 2:
Father, I lift up this nation to You. We are confused, divided, and sick with pride. Humble our hearts and bring repentance to this land. Let Your truth shine through the noise.
I keep thinking about how Jesus would respond. He wouldn’t care about the politics. He’d care about the person—the refugee mother trying to protect her children, the man fleeing violence, the family seeking a safe home. And yes, that includes white people too.
“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” —Psalm 34:18
Why does the world want to assign value based on melanin instead of mercy?
I feel a deep ache in my spirit. Sometimes I feel like I don’t belong in this culture anymore. The values I see shouted from the rooftops—sexual confusion, identity politics, hatred of faith, and open disdain for biblical truth—make me feel like a stranger in my own country.
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” —Romans 12:2
I want to be bold in love but also bold in truth. It’s not loving to remain silent while people celebrate sin or weaponize compassion.
Prayer 3:
Jesus, help me be a voice of clarity in a foggy world. Give me strength not to compromise, and courage not to stay silent. Make me more like You.
This isn’t about defending whiteness—God help us if that’s what it becomes. This is about standing for what’s right even when it’s unpopular. If it were 58 black refugees, I would feel the same. If it were 58 Muslims fleeing war, I would still say: protect them. Because they are human beings. Because they are loved by God. Because Christ died for all.
“But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” —Romans 5:8
But instead of seeing God’s mercy reflected, I see people getting upset simply because mercy was shown to the “wrong” race. If this isn’t a heart problem, what is?
Prayer 4:
Holy Spirit, break the chains of racism in every direction—black, white, left, right. Only You can purify hearts and restore true unity. Let Your church rise up in holiness and love.
This is why I cling to Scripture more than ever. The world’s values are shifting sand, but God’s truth is my anchor. I can’t afford to let culture define what’s good and evil. Only God can.
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” —Psalm 119:105
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.” —Matthew 5:9
“Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.” —Romans 12:9
“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” —Galatians 6:9
I pray that we don’t lose sight of what mercy really means. That we remember Jesus died not for categories, but for souls. That we hold the line on righteousness, even when the world mocks us.
Prayer 5:
Lord, keep my heart soft but strong. Let me not be desensitized by hatred or fear. Help me shine for You, even when the darkness feels loud.
Today I cried—not because 58 white refugees were rescued, but because people were mad about it. The world needs Jesus, desperately. But we have Him. And I won’t let go.
—Amen.
