A life worthy

There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:28).

E Pluribus Unum

Out of Many, One

It’s one of the mottos of the United States.  The words point out that, though we have come from many countries and cultures and creeds, we are one as American citizens.

Based on my news feed, America doesn’t feel very E Pluribus Unummy these days.  We fight and march and protest to defend, even glorify, our differences, rather than celebrate what makes us one.

Oy.

God sees it differently, Beloved.  When he looks at you, he doesn’t see color or gender or nationality or socioeconomic status.  He sees his Son shining out through your eyes.

And he likes it.

Maybe today, just for a while, we can try to see this tired, angry world as he sees it?

Care to give it a try?

Happy Thursday, Beloved.
