"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning it's shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."
-Hebrews 12:2

blind.

What this world needs is to care more about the inside than the outside. Have we become SO blind that we can't see? God's gotta change her heart before he changes her shirt.

Humans can be so lame. Really. Why do we judge the outside appearance so harshly. Sometimes that's all we look at. Sometimes that all we look for.

I wonder how many opportunities we'd have to talk to an angel in disguise if we'd just learn to get over our judgemental thoughts and our own personal feelings about the way we think someone should look like.

Sometimes I wonder what we'd say or do if we lived back in Jesus's time. Maybe we'd see his long hair and flip flops and write him off as well. Maybe we'd see a man hanging out with prostitutes and we'd automatically assume that he has nothing good to offer or that there's so possible way he has the spirit of God.

Who cares what people think? Someones hair is too messy for certain standards, someone has 8 million piercings and a few tattoos. A man reeks of cigarette smoke.

Guess what?

Jesus loves them just as much as He loves you. The Bible says several times that God is no respecter of persons. God looks at your heart. That girl with those tattoos may have the kindest heart ever.

Lets love them. Not leave them.
