Don't Judge a Book by its Cover

Living in South Florida for six weeks has taught me one important thing about myself. I am slowly learning to be less judgmental of others. It was always something I inwardly did and occasionally shared with others. But, meeting such unique and different people has opened my eyes to reality. We've met a lot of people since moving here and the majority of these people are nothing like those in Indiana that I would've even taken the time to meet. A lot of these people we've met at our gym, Crossfit Hardcore. We're there 5 to 6 days a week so we encounter a lot of people. Here, there are people from all walks of life. And each one of them has opened my eyes a little more. We're building relationships with all kinds of people and that's what it's all about. Some of these people wouldn't typically be "accepted" in the church, but they're still a Child of God. Whether they follow Him or not, they are still one of His. Who am I to judge what is normal and what is acceptable. My role is to show Christ's love regardless of the situation they may be in.

Being stretched is challenging but rewarding in its own way.
