In His Eyes 

   In the eyes of the Lord there is no difference in His children.  All were made in His likeness.  Regardless race, color, nationality, or any other difference that make exist we are all children of God, and all deserve to be treated with the love and respect due sons and daughters of the Lord.

   Sadly, this approach to our fellow human beings has never been prevalent.  We have always feared those who are unlike us in whatever respect.  Those we consider “others” have been treated and are still being treated with hatred, bias, and disdain.  I suspect this will never be completely overcome; our sinfulness and pride won’t allow.

   In this world we see the differences, in the next we will see the beauty that God created within us.  In this world there is hatred and fear, in the next there will be only love.  Society will never see all as equal and treat them as such, in the next all will be seen in the light of God.

   We can never fix all that is wrong with society, but we can try to overcome the temptation to attack and distrust those who may be different.  We can at least make the effort to see others, regardless of any differences, as children of God, worthy of love and respect. 

There are many differences in Your people.

But You see them all as Your children.

Regardless our differences.

We are all brothers and sisters in You.

 Amen
