So thankful that God has reminded me the past 6 months that I'm not forgotten by my dearest friends from college. My Jesus loving, kind-hearted, adventure driven friends still care for me. Although it has been excruciatingly hard to be apart from these friends of mine God has reminded me that they have not forgotten about me. I cherish so much the friendships that have clung to me over these past five years.
These past couple of days have been really hard for America, what with all the gun violence and racial discrimination. Thus, I have been reminded of Urbana, my heart for the persecuted and persecutor, and what I want life to be like here on Earth. My heart is so broken for all the things of this world. I think it is time we are reminded of how to love others well. How to care for those who are discriminated against. And how to work are hardest to put an end to this racial tension. I've also been reminded of God's unending love for me. Through the youth in my community, that I have been faithfully serving the past few months. They have been reminding me how much our Father truly loves us. Whether you come from a background of hurt and neglect or you come from a place of joy and triumph, God still loves us all the same. This past week the youth pastor, Brock, gave a message on "Loving Our Enemies" man does this ever resonate with me today. One of the hardest decisions we have in this world is to choose to love someone who does not love us. It is never easy to love someone who does not love us but I think it is time for us to start. Loving our enemies is so important. Even Jesus ate with the Tax Collector, when everyone thought He was nuts. Let's do the same.
