He who does not love does not
know God, for God is love.
1 John 4:8
God’s love and grace is a free gift to all regardless of nationality,
race, or doctrine. His love is not limited by the societal boundaries
that we create. He loves ALL. Red and yellow, black, and white they are
precious in His sight. There is no lack of hate and prejudice in this
world. There are always those who, instead of celebrating the distinct
and unique way God has created each individual, are more satisfied
criticizing and tearing down. There is One standard, Jesus Christ; and
in ourselves not one of us has the ability to meet that standard.
Although we may esteem others better than ourselves, God does not
categorize us that way. There is not one from the greatest to the least
that does not matter to God. We can’t say one minute that we love God,
and then the next minute hate a part of His creation. He is love, and if
His love dwells within us, it will be evident.
Prayer
Remind me today that You know and are aware of the motives of my heart.
Fill it with Your love, overflowing so that there is room for nothing
else. Forgive me for the times I have inflicted pain with my words and
actions. Help me to love what You love and care for all that is precious
in Your sight. Amen.
