A new humanity.

For my birthday, one of my good friends blessed me with the book Sex God. I had been wanting to read it for awhile, but had just not gotten around to visiting the bookstore and making the purchase myself. I suppose God and my friend decided I needed to read it now. So I started chapter one tonight. Its weird when I read a book. A book like this anyway. I analyze every word and will read one paragraph that sticks out to me, over and over again until I can pick it apart. Nerd? Ok. Im fine with it. Anyway, chapter one focuses in on humanity and how in reality, God made us alike. We are all humans. Thanks to the society in which we live in however, we are all divided into different groups. Not as individuals but as groups. Groups according to our income, ethnicity, family, location, outward appearance etc. But there are small moments when all of that strips away and you are just left with a human. A person who lives and breathes and chances are, they tie their shoe with the bunny ears just like you and me. When it comes down to the core of who created us, we are all the same. God created each and everyone of us. And the book has a quote which I love that says, "How you treat the creation reflects how you feel about the creator." How is it, that we can claim to be a christian, and love Jesus, and yet we walk on the other side of the street not to make eye contact with the homeless man begging for change? We are no better than him. That could be us sitting on that curb. The same God created us both. How is that reflecting how we truly feel about our creator? Deep down, is that how you feel about your creator? That he made a few mess ups but you are his masterpiece. Guess what? That beggar is his masterpiece too. He created us the same. I read that paragraph over and over again and tears just formed because I myself have treated Gods creation terribly. And when that happens to his creation, it happens to Him. He is torn down and belittled. And not have I done that toward others to gain in insecurities, but I have done it to myself. I have torn myself down and in doing so, its the same as letting God know that I don't appreciate his creativity in me. And I don't want that to reflect how I feel about my creator. I don't want to tear my Creator down. I want to reflect love and acceptance and gratitude and servitude and show his creation to others and let them know they are created special too. Created as humans. We are not of this world and its time to stand up and start reflecting the divine spark that God has placed in each and everyone of us, and start being the creation he intended us to be. Its time to work for the new humanity.
