Are souls, black, white or brown? How about male or female? Gay or Straight? Does your Nationalism, or Religion define you in the eyes of God? My answer and opinion is no, a soul is none of those things. Nor do any of those things define who you are in the eyes of God . . .One of the main reasons I believe this and say this to be true is a verse in scriptures ; Jeremiah 1:5: "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the Nations." Jeremiah was talking about himself in this verse, but I believe God was talking about His relationship to humanity in general. God knows us, our souls, before we are even formed in the womb, and I believe that is how He recognizes and builds relationship with us. How He sees our souls. God doesn't see black, white, or brown, male or female, gay or straight, American or German, or Catholic or Lutheran, He sees us in relationship to our souls. Do we use these characteristics to grow our soul, and expand our relationship to God, or do we allow these things to come between our souls and our God. Our souls are the only part of us, that are eternal, the only part that remains to define us in God's eyes. When people talk about God loving everyone, He does not love us because of the characteristics that define our earthly existence, He loves us because of the part of Him that exists in us. We can not have a true and good relationship with God, unless our souls are right, and the most important thing in our life . .Our souls are the presence of God in our lives. Our souls grow or wither in relationship to how we live our lives. Is our skin color, sex, sexuality, nationality or religion more important, or are our souls? Your relationship with God depends on this answer.
