COLOR BLIND LOVE

COLOR BLIND LOVE

Color blindness or color vision deficiency is the inability to see true colors and it is inherited. However, the type of color blindness I am referring to is not an inherited vision deficiency but rather a human inability to see people as a color scheme. God created the human race and man created division and racism. God made mankind into His very image. We were all made as a conglomeration of colors all blended to make this terrific masterpiece; as a beautiful rainbow of love. A tapestry made with His own hands. Babies born into the world do not see people of different colors, they see people as people, whether mommy is of a beautiful chocolate color or daddy of a milky color, until much older and what they have been enculturated into. They see monochromatically-one color, the color of Love.

The color of love is pure and iridescent and it comes from The Almighty God. God created us to love Him and to fellowship with Him and through our love for Him we can too outflow love to others. We see others through the eyes of God and through the eyes of His Love. God is a god of inclusion, harmony, love and of peace. Satan is the god of dissension and discord with consumed misanthropy. He is the author of division, strife and war. He is the god of this world and influences people to perform his dirty work. He is the one who created all those 'isms' and anything to distract us from God. 

We as Christians ought not to have any division, strife or hatred in our lives these things are dichotomic and polar opposite to a child of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. When Jesus walked the earth as a man He demonstrated how we were to live our lives. Our lives ought to be a testimony of Jesus Christ. He loved everyone unconditionally (agape') and died for all mankind that they would be saved from the consequences of sin. John 3:16 says, "that God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son; that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."(NKJV) Who was this Man Jesus? Jesus, was His earthly name that was given upon His birth as man. He was the Son of the Most High God who agreed with The Father to come down to earth after the fall of Adam. His mission was to save mankind and get the devil out of God's business. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, He was in the beginning with God, all things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men...and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full grace and truth."(John 1-4, 14). This Jesus was the Word that became flesh.

In the Genesis story we saw before God came on the scene of the first chapter that the world was in total darkness. Satan had made a mess of the world and God had to clean up his mess so that man will have a decent place to live. It was a cavern and abyss of pure evil. Light was always associated with God and His righteousness and darkness was always associated with evil and the devil and his demonic cohorts. "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said let there be light and there was light..."(Genesis 1:1-3). The color of hatred is without form and void- it is an all-consuming darkness of the abyss in a man's soul. The color of love is a pure, light, the Light of King Jesus. "Everyone practicing evil hates the light and refuses to come to the light, lest his deeds be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God." (John 3:20-21). Some Christians get caught up in the deception that the demon of darkness have portrayed falsely to the world that the pigmentation of a person's skin is their defining character, rather than the content of a person's heart. God judges the heart of every person and none will escape the final judgement.

If we were all color blind our world would be a little better to live in. It will be more tolerant and inclusive. If we were able to maintain the innocence of childhood playing with our friends of all beautiful colors of the rainbow. If we were not taught to hate or thought that we were better than our neighbor because of a lighter hue or a darker hue. Such is all vanity and foolishness to God. There is a story in Numbers 12 where God got angry at Moses's siblings because of the remark they made against Moses' wife, because she was from Ethiopia. This story was not because she was from Africa but because she was of a different culture. Back then people were more concerned about the tribe or culture you were associated with and not a color thing. That only began much later as men began to exploit other men and tried to rationalize their foolishness and to hide their insecurities, fears and intolerance through self- created status.

There is coming a time of judgment where God will judge the earth and its inhabitants. He will not judge mankind or favor any one particular group because of their race, gender or ethnicity. He will judge each person on the content of their heart and the life that was lived on this earth. In 1 Samuel 16:7 states: But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." God is more concerned if you loved others and had compassion for each other. There is another piece of Scripture that shows the heart of God for us all: Acts 10:(34), Then Peter began to speak: "I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism (35) but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right."

In the final analysis all man's foolishness will end and as Solomon once quoted all is just vanity. You see when you die your body decays just the same as every man whether black, white, yellow or red or even blue. There are no special accommodations for any one race over another. All men will be judged by how they lived on this earth and nothing else. There is one heaven and one hell and those who violated and persecuted others over their appearances or for some other preconceived notion of self-aggrandizement will answer to the Almighty God. God does not hear the prayers of those who do not walk in love, tolerance and compassion. God will not have anyone in His kingdom other than those who loved Him and His Son, Jesus and who lived their lives according to His Word.

The Adversary is the creative power behind all the evil destructive, immoral and depraved acts in our world and he influence people to do heinous and repulsive things to others to elevate themselves because of their own insecurities. Racism is a mental illness, it is pathological in nature and has no foundation or merit. It borne out of hate, intolerance and insensitivity. People with this disease should be treated by a psychiatrist if they do not know God. If you are a Christian and have this dreadful disease please note God is your healer and if you repent and ask for his forgiveness He will heal you of this demonic plague of hatred.

Shalom
