peeled of our skin

peeled of our skin
stripped of all differences
our earthly distinctions
the things on the outside
our color, our flesh
that sets us apart.

on the inside the same
all of us broken
all one in Jesus
all of us children
the body of Christ
loved equally by God.

are going through.
Here are just a couple:
