Do We Show Others That They Are Beautiful Creations of God?




This week, our state and city will be recognizing the anniversary of Bloody Sunday that took place "just down the road". As we pray this week for Montgomery, let's include our whole state and our country--that we, as followers of Christ, will be leaders in change. Yes, we have come far, but no, we are not there yet. The Lord loves ALL people. We must live our lives as Christ taught is...to love, not hate people.

People are his delight, his creation. We must treat everyone we meet with dignity and respect as well as recognizing they are a beautiful creation of God. There is no superior race in God's eyes. There is one race...the human race, who he set above all creatures because we are so special to Him. Let us take the lead when we see someone being treated wrongly and show others how to love.
Would you join me in praying that we each will be "light" in the midst of the darkness of this world?

Here is a great verse to ponder this week as you look around you at others....this is how He feels about all of us:

"The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you; in his love.... he will rejoice over you with singing"
.
 Zephaniah 3:17
