Love and Diversity

There are things that just don't belong together
Light and darkness
There are creatures that do not exist together
The lion and the lamb
But as truth was older than lies
so also is love older than hatred
God loves all his creations whether good or bad
God cares for  all whether happy or sad
Through Gods intense and unending love for all
we are able to love
Despite ethnicity
despite nationality
despite race
Bearing in mind that it is through Gods grace
we are able to face hard times
Going by the greatest commandment of the divine providence, which clearly states
love your neighbor as yourself
your neighbor must not be necessarily who you associate with
your neighbor could be someone you do not share the same faith with
God says love them all.
