God's grace, love, and mercy is not limited to only a select
group of people. It is not only for a particular race or ethnicity, for those
in certain economic class or of a certain social status. His glory and love extends
to all who believe, all who make the decision to acknowledge and accept him as
their Lord and savior. Whether black, white, or purple, poor, rich, tall,
short, or somewhere in between, God loves you.

In Acts chapter 15, we get a glimpse of how God’s grace is
not limited to just a certain group of people. Paul explains “8 God, who knows
the heart, showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just
as he did to us. 9 He did not discriminate between us and them, for he purified
their hearts by faith…11 …It is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we
were saved, just as they are.”
It does not matter your background or situation. All it
takes to obtain God’s grace, his unmerited love, and favor, is a belief and
acceptance of him as your Lord and savior. Many times people feel as though
they’ve done so much wrong that it's too late to live for God or that God
wouldn’t want them, but that is far from the case. This misconception is far
from the truth. In reality it is never too late, no matter the sins you have committed
they can be washed away and your “hearts purified by faith”. You are, were and
will always be precious and valuable in the eyes of God. Regardless of our
race, ethnicity, troubled past/present, economic situation or social status,
God Loves US. We all can enjoy the
abundance of love, joy and blessings he provides. We can all be saved and filled with the Holy Spirit. “17 That the rest of mankind
may seek the Lord…”
