I came across this quote at the beginning of the week and it has been on my mind ever since….

” Christ cared about  the simple dignities. He stopped to talk to those others walked past. He loved the seemingly unlovable, touched the untouchable, and died for the unfaithful. His love went beyond His own to the unknown.”

It has challenged me to think, “How does the way I live, on a day to day basis, compare to this?!”

2 Corinthians 5:20 says that we are ambassadors for Christ - His representatives. Meaning, since He is no longer physically on the earth, we are the ones that serve as an example -to the world- of who He is.

It’s so easy to fall into a rut of loving those in our “circle of comfort” - friends, family, co-workers. But what about that person who gets on our last nerve? Those who don’t met up to our standard of living? The stranger on the street?

Over the weekend, I challenge you to examine the circle of those you love and extend it.
Befriend the friendless. Acknowledge the ignored. Step out in LOVE.
