Writing 4 Thursday...6/25/20..."Ingredients"

Good Morning,

The topic of today's writing illustrated with the analogy of recipe ingredients. The ingredients" that God has used in His recipes for the creation of His human race. Here is  quote from this  writing, "The result of this mixing can be seen all over the world and the mixing is a remarkable rainbow of beautiful skin colors. No one can say that one is better than any of the others.

Love one another as God has loved us!

Be blessed...

Today's Devotional
"Ingredients"

 Written by Corinne Mustafa

When we set out to make a recipe we know that to concoct it there are certain ingredients that must included to insure that the flavor and texture is as desired. When I was a little girl I constantly left out the ingredient that made the cake to rise. After a while I chose to leave the kitchen. Imagine my joy when they started to make box cake mixes!

A perfect cake in every box!!!

John 13:34 – A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

When God created human beings they were not identical as if from a cookie cutter. The result of this mixing can be seen all over the world and the mixing is a remarkable rainbow of beautiful skin colors. No one can say that one is better than any of the others. However, part of what is the ingredients of the mixing is social. People come to the mix with their customs, and that can be an element that totally brings on dislike, mistrust, and prejudice. 

Here is a scripture verse that has been available for almost 2,000 years...

A new commandment I give to you, 

that you love one another; as I have loved you, 
that you also love one another.
John 13:34 

During the last few weeks I have been moved (often to tears)at the sweetness of some of the families and the children. One small child asked if someone might kill him.

We need to remember that God has created us all and act accordingly. This would include kindness and prayer. We need to go out of our way to accept people who differ from us in skin color or different customs.

Messiah, Majestic King, Creator, Ruler of the land and everything that dwells within it. We praise Your holy name, for there is none like You in all the earth. You created us each uniquely in Your image and likeness, in all shapes and sizes and complexions. We pray with faith and belief, that You will heal the land of the infectious disease of racism that targets many even today.
