Kingdom Diversity

By Jeff Abiera

Your eyes, your culture, and your difference are not worthless

In actuality, our diversity has divine purpose

Purposed for the eternal kingdom

A redemptive perspective of what we’ll see walking into heaven

A time when the celebration of who we are is not at the sake of another 

When yellow black and brown are special ingredients expressed in color

A beautiful gaze—of different arm skin tones in worship we raise

In worship we praise

As the King of Kings walks in, he’s compassionate to redeem all 

Including racism—a product of the fall

So as we wait for that day with grace truth and love

Understand that the differences you see in the mirror are a masterpiece ordained from above
