G'day

a couple of weeks back, i was watching Freedom Writers again.... I love this movie.... It is a good reminder for us not to judge people by their reputation.... And how loving and accepting people, they have an opportunity and a reason to change, and do change when they know that someone loves and cares for them unconditionally.
You see God see each person, He sees their hurts, He knows what they have been through, and why they act as they do... And He loves them... His heart breaks when He sees them acting in a way that hurts themselves and others.... He wants them to know that He loves them... He wants them to experience His love.... We are called to love all with the love of Christ.... and to express this love to them not just love them from a distance, but to go and get along side and love them, getting our "hands dirty".
Christ didn't just love us from a distance, He came and lived amoung us... we are to do the same...
