How Do They Look To Me?

Good morning and happy Monday. What do we see when we see people?  What did we think when we see someone who looks different from us?  What do we whisper about them? I say all this because I saw a young man the other night that had hair that covers his face and skinny and what some may call a skater or one of those terms that puts him apart from the next kid. He had a look that made me think. He had a look that's probably popular with some but might turn a head mostly. It wasn't dirty or crude, it was just different. I wondered what people said about him in school or the mall or if he was even looked at all. But one thing I do know, that kid could play a guitar like nobody's business.  When he was on a stage and plugged in, wow. It's funny how things can change when the circumstances change to what we're used to things being in. We do that though all the time with people. I catch myself all the time doing it. I'm getting better though, but it comes from my growth in my relationship with Jesus. I finally I've come to my senses in the fact that I can't make it in this world without Him. When I filter everything through Him, it's better than Amarillo water out of a Brita pitcher. Goes in bad and comes out perfect. He is our example. One we can never live like, but we must strive do the best we can. I'm sorry to those I've judged. Whatever we have to do to see through His eyes we must do. It will be through those eyes that we also feel the hurt inside others who are trying to hide it. I wanna be like you Jesus. That's our mantra. That's our goal. In love always. <><
