Man can judge only by what he sees. Life is bigger than logic.

The mystery of God’s love is beyond human understanding. Things are not always the way they look. By tribe or ethnicity we may seem different, in the scheme of God’s design we originate from a common home.

Race or familiy afilliation must not create barriers between us and God.

If we must follow Christ, we must be ready to pay the price or face all the huddles of rejection, deprivation and aspersions in a world that is slow in the understanding of God’s designs.

May the good Lord give us sharp understanding. May he enliven our sense of discernment. Amen.
