Being Different is Being the Same

In our interaction with each other there sometimes needs to be a reminder that we are all in this together. There are so many circumstances in which we look at each other as being completely different....so here are five ways in which we are all the same.

1. The air that I breathe is the same air that you breathe. The air was created by God...therefore we all partake in the "breath" of God.
2. When I bleed the color is red, when you bleed the color is red, when Jesus bled the color was red.
3. When the sun shines we all have the same predetermined amount of time in which to use that light.....the question is how will you use it?
4. We all have muscles with which to smile.....it just depends on if you work those muscles which makes the result different.
5. God loves you and God loves me.

We concentrate so much on those things that make us different. Whether it be skin color, income, schools we attend, people we love, the church we go to......the list is endless.

Why?

By pointing at someone and claiming that they are different....you are also pointing at yourself and saying that you are different as well.

Relish the fact that you are who God made you. Enjoy the fact that there are quirks about you that give you that individual touch. Don't worry about being "in line". Find the things that God has given you and use them to promote the differences in all of us. I don't want to be you and you should not want to be me. We should desire the ability to be ourselves. Let the breath of God enter you, let the blood of Christ invigorate you, give your best effort when the sun is high, and give those face muscles a work out.

We are all loved by God, but it is the recognizing of the unique which enables us to stand on our own two feet.

We can be different for God made us the same.
