"We are all different in some way or another yet we all need the same thing. Love" This is the profound statement that my youngest said to me as we were finishing the movie, 'The Good Dinosaur. "Why yes, Emma. This is very true!"
The next time you are out and about, perhaps the grocery store, shopping mall, or the local church you may attend, look around you and see. Look at all the unique faces. We all come in different shapes and sizes. From all sorts of walks of life. Different cultures. Different beliefs. And different backgrounds. If you listen carefully, you will hear that they all have a story to tell. There are multiple ways that they do so. Some speak through the lens of a camera. Some through poetic song. Even some through their silence. And others through the vivid artistry etched upon their skin.
I desperately want you to see them for who they truly are. Look closely into their heart. Into their soul. And if you quiet the thoughts of your mind, you can hear it, their silent cry. The cry that you and I can clearly understand, for it is the cry of every heart of mankind. "Love Me."
We have a choice to make. To look past the color of their skin, the ethnicity of their heritage, and their choice of style to see that they are just like you. Just like me. We are all in need for someone to love us. To accept us. To save us. We are all in need of Him. The Alpha and Omega. Savior. Deliverer. Redeemer. Immanuel. Yeshua. Master. Messiah. Teacher. King of kings. Prince of Peace. Lord of lords. JESUS.
"If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand." Mark 3:24-25 ESV
