WE ARE CONNECTED BY THE SPIRIT AND OUR HISTORY

Romans 10:12 "For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him.

"History is not there for us to like or dislike. It's there for us to learn from. So if someone's history offends us even better." Because then we are less likely to repeat it. America History cannot be told correctly without Native American or black American history. Because the past teaches us about the present, it gives us the tools to analyze and explain our problems and oppressions. History explains behaviors and patterns that would be invisible in the present. We are created in God's image, so our gender, skin color, and differences are not what matters. Instead, the Spirit of God in us brings it all together. 

Father, we are grateful that Your Word is not just for one nationality, ethnicity, or race but for all people. Lord, teach us that the only difference between us is skin color. We all serve the same God. Thank You, Lord, for our diversity and for showing Your grace equally. Let Your Word be clear that all believers are one in You. So, give us eyes that view one another as You view us. Thank You, Lord, for not showing favoritism but accepting from every nation the ones who fear You and do what is right."Thank You, Lord, for not favoring one person or group. Thank You for acknowledging the diversity of Your creations while showing grace equally. In Jesus' name Amen
