what color am i?

"You are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus... there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." Galatians 3:26,28

Have you ever met a stranger, and then after talking to them realize you have a common bond or interest?

Once when this happened, it led to one of the kindest compliments i have ever received. Lillian and I starting chatting in the long checkout line. It turned out she reads the Salt Shaker devotions i send out.


The most unexpected discovery was the fact she had been trying to figure out my color. Some days she read it and thought i was black, and then some days she read it and thought i was white. I had never thought about how others perceived me, but was tickled to know with some, the boundaries of color were smeared or erased and merit no importance.  Shouldn't that always be the case in how we see others?

Father, may others just see and color us love.  That is the most marvelous color of all.

we are loved and chosen by God,
may we live, love and do like we believe it,
veneal
