"I'm just a nobody trying to tell everybody about a Somebody who can save anybody"

amen? yes.


That quote is from an amazing book called Same Kind of Different as Me. If you have not heard of this book please stop reading this blog. Get in your car and go to a bookstore. I'm not kidding. It will change your life.

Let me just give you a little summary:

It's from 2 different perspectives. One from a rich man and one from a homeless man. They think they are worlds apart. They couldn't be more different. Then their worlds are brought together and as it turns out, they have a bit more in common then they originally thought. Both have struggles. Both have problems from their past. Both are looking for something more. They may be different on the outside, but are one in the same on the inside.

I won't say anymore about it except for the fact that it is truly eye opening. I just think that we all too often get stuck in our own little worlds or bubbles or whatever it is we want to call them and we forget that hey, maybe that other person wears different clothes but who cares. Maybe they live in a different state or a different country. Maybe they have more money than you or maybe they don't have any money at all. Maybe they appear to be mean but maybe it's just an appearance.

how do we know what other people are really like if we don't ask? If we don't get to know them? If we don't take the time to care? who knows, maybe they're exactly like you.

challenge this week:

let go of yourself. let go of status and stereotypes and everything else that says you can't associate with certain people.

"'Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?' And when Jesus heard it, he said to them, 'Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.'" Mark 2:16b-17


stop caring about who you're seen with. we're all people. we're all the same no matter how different we are. we all need Love.

so be a nobody and tell everybody about a Somebody who can save anybody.
