““When an alien resides with you in your land, you must not oppress him. You will regard the alien who resides with you as the native-born among you. You are to love him as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt; I am the Lord your God.”
Leviticus 19:33-34 CSB
Interesting how the Lord instructs his people how to deal with immigrants and people who are not originally born as Israelites. If this was Gods intention thousands of years ago, why do we not all agree that we should still treat immigrants in the same way?
Lord, help my friendliness toward immigrants and foreigners be shaped by Your perspective, rather than that of my culture. I pray that my heart and attitude would help others to think critically about what You would call them to do.
