Revelation 7:9
After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands

God loves diversity. Diversity of personalities, cultures, colors, genders, sizes, and shapes. He started the world with diversity when He created it. He orchestrated it to display the vastness of His creativity. He will also end it with a massive display of unity in diversity. The picture of John the revelator in this passage fills my heart with the greatest joy I can think of. For those who choose Him there will be: No more discrimination, no more ostracizing, no more outsiders, no more loneliness, no more hating another person because they believe something different or hold to a different ideal. No more. The truth will have been revealed and our selfish nature will have to be put down before the great I AM who sits on the throne. His way will be the only way. What a picture! If only we could grasp a portion of this heaven here on earth... What is stopping you from seeing another person as God sees them?
