for some reason or another, ive had ample time to look at myself these past couple months. what kind of person am i? how have i changed in the past year? lots of self-examination.
one thing for sure, i have become a mercy shower. growing up in a Christian home taught me right and wrong and though it engraved loving others into my head as well, somewhere between the lines i learned to judge. not outwardly where it was obvious - this is sin. but instead i judged internally. when meeting someone who lived a lifesytle different from my own i kept a safe distance, smiled, and moved on.
things are different now. i see people caught up in all sorts of trouble and my heart aches for them. i love engaging in conversation and being a friend different from one they have ever had. before too long, it feels more natural to spend time with people who have never attended a church, prayed a prayer, or been loved unconditionally. mercy showing.
