I have seen so many people hurt because of the judgments that have been placed upon them. No on deserves that. The world is such a cruel place and people have real feelings, emotions, pains, and hurts. How are we helping to build up one another up? We aren't here on this earth to tear each other down. That only leads to more pain and suffering.
Recently a strong topic I would like to attend to is the topic on interracial relationships. If we are living in the year 2013 and we are placing judgments upon someone due to the color of their skin then we have it all wrong. God created everyone in His perfect picture, just as He created you and me. God didn't make any mistakes. A color makes no difference about a person. A color is a color and a person is a person. I am one of the whitest people I know and when I burn I'm bright red. Doesn't mean someone should look at me and say, "Oh she's red, better not be friends with or date her." That is just a little ridiculous to me. This applies to the same concept as if you are white, brown, black, purple, tan, blue, pink, or whatever!
Placing judgments upon someone based on stereotypes, color, or race isn't what Christ would want us to do to show His love. He doesn't call us to judge one another but to get to know and love one another.
"There is only one lawgiver and judge, He who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?" ~ James 4:12
This is a question we all need to be asking ourselves. No race, color, or person is superior to one another. Christ created us all in His OWN IMAGE.
"And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them." ~ Luke 6:31
Treat others how you want to be treated. You would never want another person to make a judgment on you based upon your looks, race, or color if they didn't get to know you. Get to know a person. And if someone is happy and enjoys being around and with that person by all golly means let them. There is too much hate in this world already.
Stand out, be bold, be different. Get to know people for who they really and truly are.
"And as they continued to ask Him, He stood up and said to them, 'Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone.'" ~ John 8:7
