Harmony in it's simplest form

Have you ever looked outside your window and thought… “ You know, the leaves on the trees just don’t match, something doesn’t look right?” I can be almost certain that that has never happened and go on a limb and say that will never happen.

The Lord talks all the time about his name being glorified and His presence known by the splendor of Nature. There is a message in Nature that the Lord Himself stands for- Oneness, Unity… Harmony.

I could never, ever again see myself going to a church that is full people that look like me. Not saying I don’t love black people, because I love people. I do not, however, believe I can live life to its full potential only knowing, meeting and communing with people that look like me, or who agree with everything that I have to say or do things the same way that I do them.

God created all of the differences in people for a reason. He said himself that we all make up the body of Christ- there is a head and a foot, we can’t just have heads or just foots.

I went through a time of very hard personal struggle. I thought that I was a racist. I am very attracted to white a guy… that is just the way it has always been for me. For awhile I started to think that the reason I don’t like black guys is because deep down inside (and it wouldn’t have been that deep) I was racist against black guys. This upset me, a lot. I know what it’s like to be shunned because of my race, gender, age. I was upset that I was contributing to that kind of blatant hate.

As I was praying and thinking about this, the Lord opened my heart to a new way of thinking. Maybe He created me in a way that I am naturally attracted to people of different races. That is not a bad thing, it’s a quality that the Lord has given me and hopefully, for my future children’s sake, there is a guy out there who God created the same way.. lol

But as we were talking about the Unity and Harmony of Christ and the way He created things and us. There is something that is so Divine about a biracial couple. Two people usually different backgrounds, different families and different experiences coming together in the Sanctification of Marriage. There is nothing more beautiful to me then holding that hand of someone whose hand looks a little different.

This is Harmony in it’s simplest form.

If you have not experienced this, please just go hold that hand of some with different pigmentation than yours- it enters you into a different world.

Harmony is only possible with the true presence of the Holy Spirit. Something our fallen world, with it's fallen people, cannot create on its own.
