Diversity 

 

1 Corinthians 12:4-7 

There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.

 

 

Loving God, 

We thank you for we are richly blessed with a world of diversity and beauty. Thank you for giving us opportunities to share and celebrate diversity. As human beings, you have given us minds to explore and learn as we move together through a world of varied cultures, customs and languages. There are estimated to be over seven and a half billion people in the world, and we are all accepted and loved by you. We are nurtured by your love. Please fill our hearts with your love so that your light may shine through each one of us. Amen.
