I usually do my devotions with God in the mornings, since my bus gets to school 40 minutes early everyday. The night before today I stayed up late talking to a friend on msn. I tried so hard to calm down and connect to God, but for some reason i was way to tired and I couldn't concentrate. I collapsed on the floor and slept.
As i was sleeping two girls decided to talk in the loner stairwell where i do my devotions. I was sorta half awake but weirdly I heard everything they said. My first thought was "shut up I wanna sleep" but after trying for 10 minutes to tune them out I gave in and listened to their conversation..........
God spoke to me.
As I listened to the conversation I realized something, these girls underneath everything are the same as everyone else I know personally.
When they talked honestly without the extra crap
They had many of the same problems that I face
even the small things
like homework or fights between friends
As I got up to leave I recognized them. I try not to judge people by what I see but its hard. I was surprised at who I saw completely opposite of who I would expect.
I guess a lot of time we categorize and judge people in our heads knowingly or unknowingly, but the truth is people are people.
We should love them despite their flaws, masks and find the core of the person...
The person that God sees and loves.
Its amazing how even when I was too tired to seek God out
God came to me.
that makes me happy.
