Today i went to an event at my school called Challenge Day. it was very inspiring and encouraging because i spent the entire day with about 100 students, teachers, counselors, and volunteers for the purpose of getting to know one another and really being able to take off our "masks" that we put ourselves in every day and allowing ourselves and others to see who we really are. it is important because many and/or everybody judges somebody or oppresses somebody for being a certain way without realizing that a person may act the way they act because of a drug or alcohol history, violence or death in a family, depression and a suicidal past, being teased, being pushed to be somebody that they are not or feel a certain way because it is more acceptable, or maybe a person is the way that they are because they were harrased, beaten, put down, or raped.
and i loved it because honestly i know i have a tendency to judge people but today was really fascinating in way because i and others got to know the struggles that others have gone through and i never would have guessed that certain people were victims of racism, or that their houses get shot at, were or are suicidal, or had a death in the family. there is so much more to say but overall it was a very great and eyeopening day.
one more thing =)...
a kid had said how great this world would be if everybody would just stop hating and judging each other and just open up their eyes and see that we're all the same and all of us go through struggles and because of those similarities we can all get along!!!!
and that is very true but imagine how INCREDIBLY MORE GREAT this world would be if we all had God our Father as an important part of our lives. IMAGINE.
just a 'lil encouragment to share our faith and help those lost sheep. coz there is A LOT of them.
=D

True indeed. I hope some of those people will come out to church and become disciples. As you already stated, people NEED Jesus.
Ya they do. I hope that we can get people to see that.
