Live Hope Minute: Become A Champion Of Hopeنموونە

Easy to Point Fingers 

Society likes to push people to the margins. We see those who aren’t living like us and look for ways to live without them interfering in our lives. For anyone who has ever been pushed aside, told you weren’t good enough, or made you think that because you might be different, there is something wrong with you—this is for you. Jesus continually went after the outcasts, the ones the religious people were marginalizing and pushing to the side. These are who Jesus chose to spend time with.

If this is something you’ve experienced, I’m sorry. You are uniquely qualified to demonstrate hope. Because you know what it’s like to be marginalized, look around you to find others who have been pushed aside and show the compassion you’ve been uniquely trained to offer. That is living hope.

What prevents you from connecting with people different from you? How have you been uniquely equipped to minister?
