Good Morning, God
Again, and still, the headlines are about Treyvon, the teenager, and Zimmerman, the one who shot him in Florida. The fact that it happened is not in question. The why’s and the wherefore’s are in question. Was it murder in cold blood? Was it self-defense? Were drugs involved? Was it racial? Especially was it racial, a black and white issue?
Lord, why’d you make us, each one different? Why’d you make some white, some red, some yellow, some black, and all of us somewhere in between? Why did you make us different heights and weights? Why does each of us look and seem unique? Why are some white-collar workers, some blue-collar workers, some farmers, some laborers and some not working at all? Why are there so many things to wear, to eat, so many different places and ways to live, work and play? Why all the differences, Lord?
Because your lives would not be worth living if all were alike, my friends. Why don’t you just give me thanks and enjoy what I have made and given you? I love all that I have made – red and yellow, black and white – all and everything is precious in my sight – and should be in your sight, too!
Oh! Thank you God!
In Jesus' name, Amen
