I'm thinking twice about my judgments...my critiques and barriers I put up against people. The Heavenly Father isn't selective with who He loves, so why do I think I have the right to be?
After spending so much time trying to perfect myself and it is only in my inability to do so that I've found true freedom. It's a daily challenge to humbly serve - to love the least. During Jesus' 33 years on earth, He didn't find the most well-respected, non-annoying, rich individuals - He found the lame. The lepers laying at the end of dark allies. The woman whose bedroom was consistently occupied by lust-hungry men. The conning traders and thieves. He found the least and accepted them as his adopted sons and daughters.
"The KING replied, "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for Me." -Matthew 25:40
***This is a picture of my best friend Beth's fiance. It may seem random, but it just ties in with my daily thought process.....she always pictured herself being whisked away by some indie-music loving, free-spirited kinda lad. Instead, the Lord brought her Jacob, a kind-hearted good ole' country boy. If she had judged him initially, she would've missed the man of her dreams. A girl's gotta love a cowboy :)
