Quit Hating People Not Like You!

"He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love." Ephesians 4:16

​We are all not meant to be the exact same.  We are not all supposed to think the same or act the same or want the same thing.  What if everyone in the world liked the exact same things?  Same food.  Same places to live.  Same people to date or marry.  The world would lack resources and there would be even more conflict than there is now as everyone would be competing for the same stuff.  What if the world had one color?  No rainbows.  No options.  One color.  It would be hard to see anything and distinguish one thing from another.  Not to mention, pretty depressing.  What if everyone was the same height and weight and had the same ability?  Sports would be boring.  There would be a lot of ties.  We hate ties (sorry soccer people).  

Lord, help me to see people as being different but not difficult and help me to be okay with that difference but also to see why that difference is better most of the time, than how I often see it as worse.
