BE COLOR BLESSED, NOT COLOR BLIND


* Some people say, "When I look at people, I don't see their race.


* I don't see their color." There's a word for that: liar!


* Nobody is colorblind when it comes to race.


* And God doesn't want you to be colorblind.


* He wants you to be color blessed.


* God loves color.


* Just take a look outside!


* Everything he makes is in color, like sunsets and flowers.


* Look at all the different people around the world.


* God loves color!


* The way he created you demonstrates this.


* We need to learn to see all people the way God sees them.


* The Bible says, "The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looksat the heart" (1 Samuel 16:7 NIV).


* Quite frankly, that's a tall order for most of us.


* It's not natural to look at the inside before the outside.


* We're trained to make snap judgments based on outward appearance.


* Some people you trust just by looking at them, others you don't.


* Books are judged by their covers.


* Homes are judged by their curb appeal.


* People are judged by how they look, dress, and talk.


* So ask God to help you start seeing people the way he sees them.


* Look at their heart, not their skin.


* It's one of the first steps toward overcoming prejudice in your life — and in the world around you.


PRAYER
