 When we are willing to walk in the way of love and to embody the light of Christ to everyone we encounter, we will open ourselves up to see and understand the journeys of so many other people. When we place ourselves in humility before those who are different than us, we not only honor their perspective and experience, but we have the opportunity to learn and have our eyes open to a new way of being. Because our big, wild, diverse God is at work in millions of systems, philosophies, cultures, religions, and people beyond our own. The more we're willing to let God teach us through those who are different, the more our own spiritual lives are enriched, and the more we become the reconcilers that we're called to be.
