Is it to Teach Us to Love

God creating us different
a rainbow of faces
creating the others
setting us apart
but maybe all of this is planned
not our human choices
God creating the conflict, tensions
our struggles to love others
His plan unfolding
to live out Christ’s calling
to teach us to love
all of our neighbors,
sisters, and brothers
to love as Christ loves
all the people of earth
