Dignity. Respect. Individuality.
These three things are what makes a human, well, a human.
Beneath the stone image of the man who refuses to accept your Jesus...
... maybe...
...there lies a man who just needs a smile, a look in the eye, a gesture of equality.
Social Justice.
Giving worth to someone in need.
You can't save a soul who thinks they don't deserve life...
...who has never been told they're wanted, needed... desired.
Restoring Humanity.
Have we been endowed by our creator?
Speak those words to a child who grew up in an orphanage, who isn't wanted by any prospective parents seeking to adopt...
What have they been endowed with? Life? To them... their life isn't life.
'The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.' -Jesus
He has come.
He has come.
And now...
He sends us.
But the thief comes.
We need a constant reminder that life has already come, that even though the Devil is prowling now... Jesus has come so that he can send his church.
His people.
His bride.
His beloved.
Us.
"Look someone in the eye today. Bestow them with their worth.
We exist for relationships of love." -Mike Donehey, lead singer of Tenth Avenue North
"A man who is intimate with God will never be intimidated by men."
~Leonard Ravenhill
Love.
Choose to love today.
Choose to be sent.
Choose life...
For others.
