Coloured People...

Are we unified? As a community, as a church, as a town, as a county, as a country, as a nation? No, we are not.

As a youth I feel left out of everything, especially my church youth group. I have been there for 18months and still I feel like an outsider, waiting to be accepted by those already in it. Its harsh to say but an afro-caribbean propably has more of a chance of being accepted at church than I do because they are 'different' where as i am the 'same'.

Skin colour should not matter, we are all coloured people. We all need to be loved and accepted by those around us. I am trying to make the younger ones of the youth feel accepted by us older lot. On sunday we all went bowling and I chose to bowl with the younger ones to try and bond with them and let them know they are part of the group, I dont want them to feel like I do. I dont want them to feel isolated, alone, abandoned and unloved by the church, who are our family in Christ.

It says in the Bible that we are all Christs body. Everyone of us, and therefore we need to start accepting each other and stop forming little inside clans/groups that others feel seperated from or awkward when around them.

We have those clans in our youth. I hate being with the youth for that reason, I am not part of any clan. When I am around them I feel so left out and not worth anything or even wanted so I try to avoid those situations.

We need to change and we need to unify. I titled this post 'coloured people' for a reason. That reason is because of the song 'coloured people' by Dc Talk. That song sums up what I am trying to say :
