i just want us to remember that Jesus is for life. for every life. christian. lgbtq+. muslim. white. black. homeless. and for the ones not yet born. i hate how our society dehumanizes humans. that is not Jesus.
you cannot be truly following Jesus and not care about ALL people.
when you can choose to be anything, be kind. when you can choose to give anything, give love. when you can choose to show anything, show grace.
this world needs more of this.
love people hard. sometimes it will get you hurt, absolutely. but i will never regret loving people well, even if they didn’t deserve it or even if i didn’t feel like doing it. God didn’t suggest “love, unless it’s hard to.”
it was a command “love people like i’ve loved you.”
asking peter to walk on water didn’t make sense. asking moses to stretch out and part the red sea didn’t make sense. asking naaman to dip in the river to be healed didn’t make sense.
know that God often works in the “doesn’t make sense”. that’s what faith is, doing it anyway.
Nothing you’ve ever done would make Jesus go back and change his mind about dying on the cross for you.
Think about that.
We are so loved. He is so good.
