A Child's Heart, Pt. 5

There's nothing that can bring people together easier than children. God only knows how many rival groups and families have been reconciled because their children just didn't know any better than to be friends with their "enemies." It's not an inborn trait to treat people differently because of their race or gender or social status. To a kid, another kid is a kid. Period. They'll be friends with and play with anyone. Children are naturally accepting. Another reason that their lives are happier, easier and less complicated.
God wants us to be the same way. He wants His children to accept and love one another regardless of race or gender or any other so-called social differences. He sees us all the same; so should we. Now, that's not to say we should ignore sin and accept it as okay, but we should love the person and be willing to forgive them and accept them.
