ive been amazed at how God loves all people. God does not just love polo wearing khaki and puma kids. he loves all of them.
and i need to. i dont need to love what the people are doing, thats not what i am saying. im not saying i am going to love that people are crack addicts. but that they are made in God's image i need to love them. its so easy sometimes to say "oh ya, i love all people." but when we go into the store and some loud kid swears at you its hard to be able to react the right way. our natural inclination is to be angered. or whatever your response is that is not god glorifying.
sometimes it is hard for me to reach out to people. people that to me arent ones that i would just go up to and talk to about sweaters and the moon and coffee and God. and God is slowly showing me. that with his help i can learn to reach out to people i can learn to love them. the more extreme folks, and the kids that are around me regularly that i can invest in.
i think that God is amazing that he loves us. we sin and we yell at eachother and fight over little things like smarties or big things like relationship issues. and he sitll loves us and extends his mercy to us. and His son he gave His son.
