Just like the pieces of glass that make up a mosaic, each human being is part of God's creation. We may not look alike, dress alike, talk alike, or think alike, but it's our commonalities that bring the varying degrees of color and light together and allow us to see that we are not so different after all. How many of us have wept over the loss of a loved one or faced depression and anxiety or suffered through abuse, toxic relationships, or trauma? How many of us have clung to hope, have made wishes on stars, have prayed to God for strength and endurance? In the end, we all need each other—we need to be part of the whole.
