I feel that it is better to continue to try to teach or live
equality and love
than it would be to have hatred or prejudice.
~~Rosa Parks
This
morning’s prayer and meditation for Sally’s healing comes from Take Heart, Oh God: Riches from the Greatest
Christian Women Writers of All Time.
God
is an amazing Creator. He could have made all people to look exactly alike, but
he chose to build variety into humanity. Whether our differences are eye and
hair color, or whether our skin is a different shade, God says we are all his
children.
Rosa
Parks is famous for standing up for equality. She built her convictions based
on her Bible, which taught her that all people are equal in God’s sight. We are
called to live knowing we’re all God’s children. He wants his people to teach
and live equality and peace, not prejudice and hatred. We reach across racial
barriers with the love of Jesus. He breaks down the divisions.
No
matter what the color of our skin, we are all saved the same way—by the red
blood of Jesus. The ground is level at the foot of this cross.
Prayer
for Meditation
Thanks for loving us equally. Help me
to model that type of love, Lord.
Scripture
for Meditation
So the one sitting on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth,
and the whole earth was harvested. Revelations 14:16
