HIS blood is thicker than water

I fought myself to write this post because of how sensitive of a topic race is. God has been laying this on my heart and I'm going to try to say this as politely and heart felt as I can.

Mark 10:8 -" and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh."
This verse says that when two people are married that they are no longer two, but one. I can't help but feel offended with the way that the world is separating people by race because my fiancé is black. In less than 4 months, I plan on becoming one flesh with my husband and becoming one in God's eyes, but instead the world is trying to drive a wedge between us just because of our skin colors. It hurts to see so much division and separation between people because of what's going on. But, thankfully, my God is faithful.
Mark 10:9 -"Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."
When you have God joining you together NOTHING can divide you. That's why I am able to love my fiancé and know that we are the same, because we both have Christ living through us and I am no longer loving him as an imperfect, offended, human... but instead I'm loving him the way Christ wants and tells me to, and better yet... letting Christ love him through me.

See you can easily be consumed with all of the stereotypes and rude names that people may label you with, but when you have Christ in your heart you know that regardless of race you are ONE family. We are covered by His blood, and His blood is thicker than water. We can be one... and We are one body. I am beyond thankful that my God's love covers all races.
