Although reared in the prejudiced South, I never was that.
Figured as a very little girl that if God created mankind in His image, He would not selectively prefer one part of Himself over the other!!
The foot is just as vital as the arm or ear or kidneys, and the covering skin can come in every hue, according to His pleasure when he creates individuals.
When He creates flowers - does He prefer yellow ones over red? Blue ones over lavender?
No! He is a God of infinite variety and joys!
The term "Child of God" is simplistic, referring to ALL the kinds He creates.
Sometimes He allows us to act on our understanding that He is everywhere and in every situation, planning long before for what He knows will befall us - because of the fallen one.
Yesterday I was the one most blessed, having been prepared by Him through the years for the situation, and given by Him the right words to utter at the right moment.
It was no 'accident' my lab orders were overlooked, necessitating a return 90-mile trip - to be there at JUST the right moment to rebuke the actions of the evil one through another.
