Many of the problems of humanity is that we think we know more than we do. When it comes to religion, many groups believe they have cornered the market on "Truth". But can anybody have all the answers? Some would say, " Well we do not have all the answers, but we "KNOW" the one who does". But to say you know anybody is in fact an overstatement.
Whether we mean God, or each other. We only know in part. You cannot not truly know all about anybody. That is what makes both God and his created Human Beings so mysterious and Awesome. God is always revealing himself (the masculine label itself is proof we do not understand God fully)to us and we are always growing in our understanding in Him.
People are in a constant state of personal and spiritual growth as well. If you accept either a label or definition of others to identify with you are limiting your potential. God created us to manifest His Glory in and through. What an awe inspiring thought. We are always transcending what we were yesterday.This is why it is such a sin to judge a person simply by their skin color, sexual orientation, culture or social status.
None of us are perfect but we are not fixed in place either. I am changing and growing. If you knew me yesterday you only knew me yesterday....I am not the same nor do I plan are staying put where I am today.....
Lord,
Help us to see ourselves, and each other not as we were but as You see us. Help us to see you in a new way everyday. May our faith grow and become the adventure you meant life to be....a journey were we are not alone but one that has some exciting things in store ahead.
May we not judge you or each other with limited ideas and labels. But may we see you in your generosity and each other as an expression of your image and divinity.
Amen
