God's vocabulary doesn't include words like trailer trash, misfit, freak, drunk, slut, loser, bum, no-good, lesser, and many other derogatory words I can't write publicly. Not only do these words not exist in His vocabulary but they aren't even a thought. Yet, we will toss them around from our virtuous high perches without batting an eye. Ouch. God doesn't make trash.
There isn't a soul that God doesn't yearn to save. Every person has a face and a name. Every life, a purpose. Every tongue, a language. Every heart, a beat to joy and sorrow. There isn't one person on the whole planet that God doesn't understand or love, including you.
See the ones forgotten - they aren't always the obvious (at all). The leveling game stinks. We're all pretty equal, it's just that some dress up better than others. Through the eyes of Jesus, is the best vision and operating within the sphere of the Holy Spirit is the only way to do it. Why? Because we are all conditional lovers with limited eyesight and there is no such thing as "by my own power." Today, just LOVE. Simply. When you don't understand. When you don't agree. When you're frustrated. Courageously. With your whole heart. In action. With a thought. With a word. When you don't feel like it. When they don't deserve it. With faith or fear. In the name of Jesus. Just begin. LOVE. ✝
