Good Morning, God,
Lord, the situation is still in the headlines - the Martin and Zimmerman case. We begin another week with the discussion of justice for people of color - particularly - and whether or not justice was done. In this case, in theory at least, justice WAS done: There was an arrest, a trial, a deliberation, a verdict - the American Way.
But this hasn't been the end of is, Lord. Because you created the variety of people you did, we all look differently, think differently, and act differently. Different ways of living are unique to each person.
The trouble is, Lord, we have used the differences you created against each other. We have used the differences to oppress each other, and not just whites against blacks but people of the same color, the same family, the same religion, the same everything, always find some way to trouble, even oppress, the other.
As we begin this week, may we be thankful for our differences and realize who each person is and what they bring to this wonderful life you have created.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
