I went looking for the sunset tonight, but I only got a partial glimpse in this suburb. What I did see were peculiar, bold, vibrant colors. It reminded me of its creator. Jesus was peculiar in his times, he hung out with lepers and freaks. He was incredibly bold and courageous, willing to do anything to show love to the folks who needed it. And Vibrant. No one was like him, no one is like him, no one will ever to be exactly like him. He was different...incredibly different, and that made him shine with vibrancy.
I realized some stupid mistakes I have made. they were exceptionally foolish.
And it is hard for me to grasp that people who care about me (or once cared about me) are never going to accept that I make mistakes, are never going to forgive me for the mistakes I did make, and will have trouble trusting me again. Yes, it is hard for me to know that is happening, but it is awesome that there is someone who knows I make mistakes, and he doesn't really care that I make them...he loves me anyway.
i NEED to start living more like this guy. i feel like Christians or maybe even followers of Jesus have ideals that are high (and are continually getting higher) but our actions are not.
still fighting the complacency, ignorance, indifference, selfishness, and materialism of a common suburbanite.
