Lord, thank you for creating everything in the universe for something greater. For relationship, and it's for relationship that you created us different but unique, unique in different ways that are special too. There is no way this can be more represented than our relationship with you, then with the people you bring us close to. What amazes me is the fact that we can't experience the fullness of the relationship if we don't first have it with you.
Enjoying these relationships also takes accepting and appreciating the differences among us, why this is so is because they are not determined by a given individual, some people may wish it was so, then they would chose to be identical in personality with their best friends or people they admire.
This would be fun I can't deny, I can't mention how many misunderstandings that would get rid of, I would have no need of explain myself after making a statement just because people have not understood me. It would get rid of my getting angry of other people's mannerism, because they would adopt mine which I think is the best. .......... (joking)
People would not be ashamed of walking among others they don't share certain things with, because they would all be the same, it would give them a sense of belonging and identity.
This would be cool, anyone would agree, but I solemnly believe there is a better lesson to be embraced than an identity than makes you belong. The challenge this gives us is appreciating the differences among us, looking at them not with a negative point of view but a positive one.
Shifting from grumbling of how different I am from the rest or how different the rest are from me to looking at them with an attitude of gratitude.
This is not easy, it wasn't easy and it will not be easy if the differences among us are just differences, they are more than that, they are unique nesses, unique nesses that must be appreciated, valued, treasured and to be learned from if they are to be enjoyed. unique nesses that don't flee us away from each other but bring us to intimate relationship first with God then with each other.

My forefathers were bound by the principle of relating with people they heard blood bound with, relating basing on culture, tribes, clans, families, regions, countries and continents. This has affect all of us in one way or the other, this looks cool and great for a moment but one thing we don't realize for a long time is that it limits us from enjoying cross cultural relationships. Not to mention the learning from each other.
It is for this reason that I dream, dreaming not of wealth and health, but dreaming for a better world, a new world, a new generation, a generation where our sons and daughters are not judged by the color of their skin but basing their judgment on the heart, basing it on what they believe and in whom they bank their hope for the happiness of their future and the generations after them. A nation where the external dignity of man is respected more than anything else, where we are not respected because of any other thing or factor but simply because we are human beings and more so possess the great art of the Almighty God .I have nothing in me to deserve any respect, that’s not in my powers. If we base the respect we give to people on status and material wealth and possession then some of us will die without being valued, not because we don't want to be respect, everybody does but because we can't even imagine affording the cost, the cost would then be considered too high above our reach.
Can you risk the love and respect to those opposite you even when it is thrown back right into your face? One man or woman's willingness to obey this call can change the destiny of millions. This is a call to everyone but not to the timid and weak, it’s a call to the brave and courageous, don’t try it if you know you will quit someday, it’s a lifetime commitment.
