God does not always come to you from people of your own color. God is not monochromous. Calm down your qualms. Open up a little more. This turns your life into a garden like paradise. The great ones, who preceded you, lived their life always awaiting God from everywhere. You will not be orthodox if you do not truly believe that He is the One Who is present in all places and filling all things, and open up to the places where He is present. Open up. Fear not. Be a great one.
