What do you tell a beautiful woman that sells herself every night to support herself, and many times her family back home? How do you react to the men who buy them? How do you treat children living in slavery? How do you look at so much darkness and not run away?
These were just a few of the questions I had going into bar minsitry this week. The only answer I have is to love. Love them because Christ loves them. Love them because my sin looks exactly like their sin to the God who hates all sin. Love because it is what we all are called to do. Because it could be you, whether you believe it or not. Because I have lived a life showered in love and I can't imagine a life without it. But so many never know what it means to be loved. It doesn't matter if you don't know what to say or do, or if you are uncomfortable. Smile and treat all with the love Christ gives us. Love because it is the only way. It is all you need, the rest will come in our Father's perfect timing.
I Corinthians 13
Love bears alll things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.
With all my love,
Rachel
