One King by Hydro Walkers
Dear person listening,
Can you hear the sounds of different people groups from around the world? Can you see the beauty in diversity and culture? I feel like most of my life I've been wearing horse blinders. It's like someone has been keeping my eyes on one thing, me. Life is all about me, my hurts, my pains, my losses, my grief and my wants. How did I end up so selfish, so focused on me and unable to care about anyone else? And worse, how is it so acceptable and normal that no one has ever called me out for it. I'm normal and living this way is alright, or so it seems. A life focused on me, led me down a path of destruction and hate. I hated myself for what I had become. If I loved myself so much and am so focused on me, how did I get here?
Thank God I didn't stay. When I stopped focusing so much on me and started focusing on the one who made me, I started to see more and more clearly. It's like my blinders were removed. I began to see people, see hurt and pain outside of myself. I began to see differences, the beauty in it and the cancer of my selfishness that had to be cut out. Have you heard the saying, "it's better to give than to receive"? I don't think that applies to just Christmas presents. Giving of yourself, your time and resources to others and shifting your focus to things and people that aren't in your world is eye opening. Being able to see outside of yourself, outside of your city, country and culture is redefining life as you know it. And once you see it, you acquire new levels of gratitude, appreciation for people and differences expanding your view.
I love diversity, from places, to people, to food, culture and more. There is so much beauty in the different cultures around the world. I think it’s important to celebrate our differences, but equally important to remember that all people are created in the image of God. Regardless of race, religion, gender, ethnicity, etc. Every single person matters and is loved by our one King. If you’ve been questioning your value, I promise you that you matter and are loved so much.
