Racism

Racism? One of the world’s many excuses to simplify things. It’s so much easier to associate an entire group of people with some characteristic, rather than to acknowledge that it only apply to certain individuals.

I believe that many of the things we associate with racism, is in fact NOT a case of racism. It’s not any of the following:
- Class
- Education
- Upbringing
- Wealth
- Luck
- Family
- Friends
- Religion
- Language
Not any of the above mentioned are reasons for crime, murder, rape, assault, robbery, mugging. It’s merely an excuse.

The core of it all is MORAL VALUES. We as individuals determine our own moral values and believes. If you have good values you won’t do these terrible things, you won’t harm other people. You will be able to distinguish between right and wrong.
There exists such a FINE LINE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG that many people don’t see it or just don’t care to see.

We as God-created humans, must love and care for each other, irrespective of race, religion, language or class.

GOD IS LOVE and we as HIS CHILDREN must give and share love.

Just imagine a world of peace, without fear, without hatred, and especially without racism.

Impossible?

Phillipians 4:13: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

Nothing is EVER impossible!

My challenge to you: Make friends with people of all races, get to know them, learn about their cultures and believes. Discard ALL racist thoughts and ideas, there WRONG!
And if you don’t want to, YOU are the building block of racism.
If you feel you can’t, tell yourself “I CAN!” until you believe it.
If you think it’s impossible, you haven’t been concentrating.

RACISM IS A LIE!
Live for the truth.
