The Beautiful In - Difference
I find myself today in reflection upon difference and am gonna ‘play’ with this word a little. We are different, we are all unique. Created individually by Gods beautiful and perfect design. We journey through this life on our own path and yet travel it alongside others. Some we choose to walk beside and others who just happen to be on that same path, yet our uniqueness places us apart from each other. With some we feel kindred, recognizing our shared likenesses and embracing the beauty of how those likenesses unite us. This is the blessing of JOY in this journey of life. However, our uniqueness means there WILL be differences. Differences are not bad, they are in fact good. A world where we have no differences is a boring and stagnated existence. If we all viewed things the same way we would be ‘Stepford-esque’. In that scenario there is NO GROWTH within ourselves. We must grow in order to spiritually evolve. Lacking in recognizing, respecting, and honoring differences does not make us ‘indifferent’ and indifference is not choosing to ignore the differences, it is rather respecting the differences and seeing beyond them to experience the true beauty of our fellow journeyers. We don’t have to agree, we are different! What we need to focus on is how the differences enhance our journey through teaching us things we can learn beyond our existing understanding. So I’ll end with, I CHOOSE BOTH! I recognize, respect, and honor our differences. I pray that our indifferences would become the place to learn from each other and unite more deeply, authentically, and honestly; rather than disconnect and dissolve potential joyful harmony. I share this in Loving Kindness 💛 Be Blessed 🙏🏼✨
