He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
1 John 4:8

God's grace is free to all regardless of nationality, race, color, sex, or religion. He has not limited his love and mercy towards a particular group of people. He loves them ALL. Red and yellow, black, and white they are PRECIOUS in His sight. Our world has more than enough hate and prejudice. Instead of celebrating the distinct and unique way God has created each individual some are more satisfied criticizing and tearing down. There is a standard and none of us have the ability through ourselves to meet that standard. Regardless of income or status according to the worlds standard in the eyes of our Creator we are all deeply loved. There isn't one who doesn't matter to God. His hand of mercy and His gift of grace is there for ALL. When it is rejected by anyone His heart breaks, as should ours. Unconditional love, there is no other kind. Love that looks beyond the outward and loves deeply what is within. 

Prayer 

Lord let me be reminded that you are aware of my actions and the content of my heart. Fill it overflowing with your love so that there is room for nothing else. Forgive me the times I have inflicted pain with my words or my actions. Help me to love what you love and care for what is precious in your sight. Amen.
