Difference is Greater

To be one, to be united is a great thing. But to respect the right to be different is maybe even greater.

— Bono —

When I saw Bono’s quote it made me think of my basketball career. Both my high school and college basketball teams were two of the strongest teams I’ve ever been a member of in spite of the fact that all of my teammates were so very different.

Our coaches were able to funnel our differences toward a common goal–winning.

God created us all different for a reason. I couldn’t imagine the world being inhabited by 7.7 billion Jay Meyers…it would require 7.7 billion Lori Meyers to control us. 🙂

Difference is a great thing when we can funnel it toward a greater good–love.

Mark 12:30-31, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] There is no commandment greater than these.”

Colossians 1:16-17, “For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him, all things hold together.”
