Labels NOT

"Is this the first time you know people like us?"
"When you say "people like us", what do you mean?"

.......

There was a sadness which came over me. I hate labels, any form of labels and sterotypes and to hear someone accepting a label brings an almost defeating feeling to me. It gives the feeling of hopelessness, as though nothing can be done about it. Who are we to decide that we are better than others or place ourselves in a certain hierachy decided by the society? Afterall, God uses the tax collector and the prostitute, didn't He? What makes one person less human than another. We all have the same needs, as a human. We all long to be heard, to be loved, to be accepted as who we are. We all stand a chance to know God and to go to heaven. Not determined by the skin colour, our appearance, how smart we are or whatsoever. It's a decision we make to allow Him Lord over our lives and His blood has been shed for ALL.

I hope we take off that label and put on a new one - Child of God :)
