"Our ability to reach unity in diversity will be the beauty and the test of our civilization."
The world needs us! Division in our society does not benefit anyone. It is usually driven by a few people for selfish reasons. Wherever we look, near or far, deep issues are hurting people. Unfortunately, our political leaders do not always have the answers. In difficult times, we often see people intentionally sowing division for their own gain.
Proverbs 11:11 AMP
[11] By the blessing [of the influence] of the upright the city is exalted, But by the mouth of the wicked it is torn down.
The "upright" are people like you and me who have given our allegiance to King Jesus. So, what do we do when we see the world fracturing around us?
We show love when society cries out for hatred. We bless our communities through our words and our actions. We live out the prayer: "Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven."
Our ultimate picture of the future is filled with vibrant unity:
Revelation 7:9 ESV
[9] After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands,
A nation blessed with diversity is a truly prosperous nation. Diversity is something to be embraced and cherished—it is a beautiful gift, never a threat.
