The word “design” brought many things to mind…all those creative people on HGTV who can turn homes into beautiful masterpieces, those who create clothes that most of us would never wear, etc. But as I thought about it more I thought about how God designed each of us before we were in our mother’s womb.
With all of the dissension and frankly the hate that we are seeing in our country right now, it hurts my heart. We were designed to love, not to hate. That doesn’t mean we all have to agree. What a boring world this would be, but we should be able to have conversations and still love each other afterwards. I lament relationships where I know that it’s better not to engage online or even in person because it is divisive. How did we get here and how do we overcome?
For me, I look to THE “Designer” and try to see others as He sees them; praying for others, including our leaders, and our country as a whole.
“…with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,”Ephesians 4:2 CSB
