Dawn,

So glad that the Lord encouraged your heart through the post. I will be praying for your conversation that it will be seasoned with His grace and that His Spirit will speak through you. Take care and have a blessed evening!

There is a conversation that I will need to participate in, in a very diverse culture than one I typically find myself functioning within. However, I am confident of His sovereign grace and the description of a ‘Christian View of Diversity’ you shared really spoke to my heart. Thanks so much for sharing this.
Blessings,
Dawn

Thank you Alison! I appreciate it. Everyone deals with this issue at some level and it’s important as Christians that we hear from the Lord about it!

Thank you so much for your comment! God really laid this on my heart last week and I just had to share it. He has so many answers for us, but we so often let our own way of dealing with things get in the way. God bless you!!

I like this statement because it’s so true – “While this sounds wonderful on the surface, because it does give minorities more opportunity and a voice, it promotes division by concentrating on differences instead of what unifies us as the human race. Guilt is frequently used as a tool for change, which is very unhealthy. As well, these programs do not teach the new generations about the power of forgiveness.”

Of course, as a minority, I’ve dealt with discrimination but I have learned that forgiveness and love is potent.

I am so excited to see a Christian call it out as our duty to live well with our brothers and sisters all over the world. Thank you for being truthful about this issue’s pain, hurt etc and then how to resolve it. I am shocked at those of us who are Christians but feel comfortable to discriminate against others for the color of their skin or their gender. This is so deep! Thank you!

This issue hits really close to home. Thank you for approaching it with love and a sound kind and not fear.
