.:. LOVE .:.

"When someone is willing to take a risk and love the unloved and unwanted
 - despite the assumptions and opinions of those around them - 
that's the love of Christ, plain and simple. 

It's the love we're supposed to show."

from The Gutter by Craig Gross
(read this book)


Amazing.

Truly.
Just love.

Climb down into the trenches - your own personal gutter - and love people like Jesus did. 

Why are Christians today so afraid to do this?

Cuz it's scary. I was pondering this same thing the other day. Loving and helping my kids here is easy. They're so sweet and loveable. But there is a homeless man in my village who begs for change and I've thought to myself, Jesus would help this man. But what can I do? Seriously, what? I feel guilty cuz I kinda just ignore him like everyone else but he's not all there and creeps me out a little. This sounds awful, I know, and I want to help him I'm just struggling with the "how" of it all, you know. That was a tangent but if you have any suggestions, I'm open to them
