I have a personal wisdom that has always done well by me. I call it "2 in a ditch".
The idea is that two people with two shovels are digging a ditch. They come to work from different home lifes. They each have personal lives that they set aside as they pick up their shovels and walk down into the ditch.
In the ditch, they both start back to work. One may dig faster at the start, but by the end of the day, they both are tired. There is a satisfaction in both their hearts that they accomplished much.
In the ditch, it doesn't matter who they see themselves as. In the ditch, it doesn't matter how they otherwise perceive each other. They are what they accomplish together.
In the world, this dynamic is true. It is a basis for what our purpose is under God. We are equal under God, so, we should remain equal to one another. A foundation of humility and brotherly love.
In the world, anything that does not acknowledge this wisdom, reveals the roots of inequality in a setting. And we all know that greed, pride, vanity, ignorance, fear, and the like are what spawn inequalities.
Today in the world, we are driven into acknowledging our differences, instead of acknowledging our equality under God. What a beautiful revelation. You cannot 'do unto others what you would have done unto you', if you do not see others as equal to you under God. How relevant. Human authority around us, segments the people by means of labelling and empowerment. When we choose to acknowledge God first, these biases are shown for the deception they are.
Two in a ditch under God. They may not acknowledge our Christ, but, in essence they will bow and confess to his authority at judgement.
It is a matter of good conscience that mankind treat on another in loving ways. The basis of this wisdom I supply is, that mankind can commit to God by being loving of one another. Love covers many sins.
Blessings in keeping with goodness
