Beyond the surface: Remembering Trayvon

[1EagleSky]

  As our nation grieves the loss of Trayvon Martin & reel at the "not guilty" verdict, there's something to keep in mind that directly relates to singles. Trayvon's life was lost based on a stereotype one man, and a hotheaded one at that, had of him. How many of us singles are guilty of doing the same thing to people we meet? Writing them off as being uneducated, lazy, thuggish, a major league baby mama, deadbeat Dad, etc., when in fact, your preconceived notions are so far from reality. I believe far too many of us singles miss God's blessings for us because of this. I don't necessarily mean a boyfriend or girlfriend, or marriage. Sometimes, God will bring a person into your life to heal past hurts just by being a good friend to you. Others might be the catalyst to open doors of financial or employment advancement to you. Some may help you grow spiritually, or get back on track if you've fallen away in your relationship with God. Trayvon lost his life. You may lose a whole lot more by being judgmental without reason.
