“Because of this decision we don’t evaluate people by what they have or how they look. We looked at the Messiah that way once and got it all wrong, as you know. We certainly don’t look at him that way anymore. Now we look inside, and what we see is that anyone united with the Messiah gets a fresh start, is created new. The old life is gone; a new life emerges! Look at it! All this comes from the God who settled the relationship between us and him, and then called us to settle our relationships with each other. God put the world square with himself through the Messiah, giving the world a fresh start by offering forgiveness of sins. God has given us the task of telling everyone what he is doing. We’re Christ’s representatives. God uses us to persuade men and women to drop their differences and enter into God’s work of making things right between them. We’re speaking for Christ himself now: Become friends with God; he’s already a friend with you.”
2 Corinthians 5:16-20 MSG
Thank you, Father, for giving us the glorious gift of being your ambassadors 🥹. For giving us the distinctly honoring opportunity of not only loving you, but showing that love to others + partnering with you to call your people back to you! What an incredible thing it is, to be loved, seen, purposed, and positioned by you! May we never lose sight of why we travel up and down the trail: it is for YOU and for all of the faces in these photos—to remind them of your love and purpose you have waiting for them! Amen 🙌🏻
