Lord God,
Creator of all,
Lover of all creation and humanity,
When will people stop placing barriers between themselves and others?
When will we learn to stop looking at others in search of their differences from us,
And start realizing the beauty we all possess as children of you,
A loving God?
When will we stop hating because of race,
Orientation, either sexual orientation, or political orientation, or any other kind,
Belief, religion, cultural influence,
Or any of the other things that keep us from looking at all humans as our sisters and brothers?
Over centuries, it seems there has always been something to separate us,
To compartmentalize us,
To categorize us.
When will we realize that people are all beautiful creations
In your image,
Not part of a classification system?
Lord, let it be soon.
Amen.
