Learning Everyday

WOW ~ this kind of hit me this morning. When I think about the word 'prejudice' I mostly think of color. But it can mean against anything. Jesus chose his disciples from all ranks of people.

I pray that I am more accepting of people that are different than me in more than color.

KEY THOUGHT:

People in God's family have names, histories, and futures. They are
different in their interests and their vocations. Yet they all have one
thing in common: Jesus! Let's not limit our expectations or dreams for
people in the Kingdom of God because of their pasts, their names, their
occupations, or their reputations. Let's trust that Jesus can and will
use anyone who fully yields his or her life to his purposes.


TODAY'S PRAYER:

Father, forgive me for the sin of prejudice. Open my heart to see that
you want all kinds of different people in your family so that others
can be touched by what they see and so that your Church can be fully
energized with all the various kinds of people you have created.

In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
