Good Morning, God
Today, we are called to think especially about relationships between people groups. Today, we remember Martin Luther King, Jr as a minister, a civil rights advocate and an icon in come communities and an anathema in others.
For some people, what he said and did gave and gives great courage and hope. To other people, what he said and did gave and gives great reason to be angry and ugly. Mostly, Lord, this is because of the color of Martin Luther King, Jr's skin.
Lord, we have within ourselves the ability to discern differences. We have the ability to make choices based on our discernment. Our choices may be positive in some circles and negative in others. Our choices may cause hurt and anger, or our choices may cause jubilation and peace. Our choices may bring people together or our choices may drive people apart. Our choices may be the result of civil laws or our choices may be the result of your law, Loving God.
Lord, on this day, especially, may we see all others as you see all of us: As a soul created by you that happens to be surrounded by a great variety of different kinds of flesh and blood and thoughts.
In Jesus name, Amen
