Diversity In Creation

     God sat resting in his easy chair staring with the critical eye of an artist at the earth he had recently finished creating.  Upon this beautiful blue earth, were snow-capped mountains of various sizes, shapes, coverings.  An immense multitude of flowers, trees, plants, and grasses  of all sizes, shapes, and colors flourished in myriad areas.  Oceans, seas, beaches, flat prairies were placed precisely where they would fulfill his plan.  They appeared static, but to mirror himself, God created the wind to make them ever changing; for without movement or change, there would be no life.  He placed the Sun and stars in the heavens all around to bring light and warmth. Next, came the creatures to crawl, walk, and fly through, across, and over his creation.

     He was pleased, but it lacked something.  As he sat there thinking, the Word came upon him saying, "A habitat with life, but not a creature capable of sharing and enjoying your divine creation.  Not a creature capable of returning your most holy and divine love."

     God began to create Mankind.  The Word asked, "Will you make all of your Mankind one color?  Will you reserve the divine power of creation and pro-creation for yourself?"  God created Mankind in all shapes, sizes, colors, and blessed them with the power to create.  God saw the variety of Mankind; it was good and he loved them.

     He, who is, was, and forever shall be, loves the differences or diversity in his creation.  His Mankind fails to understand or feels threatened by that diversity at times.  If we love God, we must love as God loves, unconditionally.  We cannot pick and choose based upon our personal whims or to help us obtain an advantage over one or another.  We must serve, and must not seek to appear superior.  Only God is superior.  Only God is divine.  Love and celebrate our differences and leave judgment to him, for he knows what is in our hearts and every second of our life.  His judgment is righteous.
