Thanksgiving & Crash

i have no idea why i waited so long to see one of the most impactful movies.... "Crash" its amazing, rent it, watch it, think on it if you haven't. Here i am being lazy on the first real day of my holiday so i rent a movie right? ha! little did i know how much perspective i would tap into just thru viewing a movie about racial discrimination. how many times do we overlook or pass judgement on those that don't look like us, darker skin, different language whatever? After finishing the movie im reminded that the Lord's heart beat is for ALL people groups not just the comfortable middle-class white, financially stable college student that i am. i mean, im typing this on my macbook pro in my warm living room in a leather chair that is beyond comfortable! how many times do i over look hurt, over look neediness or subconsciously discriminate those of different ethnic backgrouds or simply the less fortunate?

our mission is clear and Jesus didn't studder when he commanded for us to go and be fishers of men so that when the time of his returning comes, EVERY nation will call upon his name and worship for eternity. Yes, so blessed we are to be the spoiled brat of america! Father, daily i pray for a global perspective to reach those in need and to walk in humility so that my pride doesn't block my eternal perspective and goal. thankful for always knowing where my next meal comes from, thankful for being so blessed in so many ways... but, if i don't use these received blessings to be a blessing to others, what good are they? Open eyes to the bigness of you and the smallness of us so we can see hurt, so we can see pain, so we can see thru eyes that see no color, no race no ethnicity.
