I am not...BUT THE LORD IS!

We stray away from people who seem weird or abnormal. People who do not present themselves like the average person we look away from. We skip over these kind of people to turn to those who carry themselves in a proper way. To us they seem more qualified for our attention. Are the "proper ones" only qualified? Jesus took up pretty much only impossible cases. But we search for seemingly possible cases. I say we because I also find myself stepping back almost immediately from those who seem "out there" or "crazy" to rush to someone who fits my acceptable stereotype. Lord break through our nature! EVERYONE NEEDS CHRIST! Not just the person who carries themselves in a "normal" way or who behaves generally in an acceptable way is qualified. Even those who are not like you, who are different from you are qualified. If you are a sinner...you're qualified. If you are a human being...you are a sinner....guess what? YOU'RE QUALIFIED. Qualified for Christ. Qualified to be shepherded, labored on, brought into the church life, whatever! i am sooo burdened for this. I want to take up those impossible cases. I want to strongly go after those who are not like me. Who seem "out there". I want to go after those who I naturally stray away from. But I AM NOT capable of doing this. BUT THE LORD IS. Lord break through my nature and express Yourself. You are not bias or stereotypical. You have a heart for ALL MEN. "Who desires all men to be saved and to come to the full knowledge of the truth" (1 Timothy 2:4)
