Just saw this image in the news (It's interesting that this story (from Switzerland) surfaced today (with all the talk of white supremacy)- I'm stunned. It's 2017 yet this is CURRENTLY posted at a Swiss hotel. No other faith was asked to shower - just Jews.
I was born in 1958 and raised Jewish (in Indiana) -we lived in a Polish catholic neighborhood; because I was Jewish I wasn't allowed to walk on their sidewalks, go in their yards and houses, or play with their children. One mother told me (when I was five years old) that I killed Jesus. At the time I had no idea who Jesus was. When Jesus found me in 1984 and chose me as His own, I learned forgiveness.
When I share my story (of how I was traumatized by racists as a child) with other people who are discriminated against they tend to belittle my experience, saying things like, "yes but MY situation is different." But you see, it's really NOT! Hate is hate. Hate is evil. If you would seriously consider all of the different people groups discriminated against - who is left out? NO ONE! (Yes even white people!)
Whose job is it to steal, kill and destroy?
To stir the pot, rustle up innuendo, create suspicion, to make us hate one another?
Oh don't you see?
There is so much hate going around. I implore and adjure you - DON'T get sucked in. Don't try and fight hate with more hate. Ask God to unveil your eyes to see the truth. Cover all in His blood and in prayer. Pray-ers need to fervently pray as led by Holy Spirit. Learn to walk in love and not hate. Learn to see Jesus in every person who crosses your path. Love for HIS sake. Remember - God made man in HIS LIKENESS. See HIM in everyone! Treat people as you would like to be treated. Better still, treat people as if you were face to face with God. There is no greater time on earth than now to consider "what WOULD Jesus do?"
God bless and keep you.
