The same God that walks with me today, walked with me then.
It’ll bring me to tears right now.
One of my worst fears as a mother is that any of my children ever end up addicted. I can not imagine it.
But, every time I shoved a needle in my skin, God saw. And I am his child.
I know how worried my mother was, and she truly didn’t know half of the things I was doing.
God saw EVERYTHING. Imagine how he felt, sitting beside me watching me kill myself.
Not only did he watch. But, he still loved me. He saw every horrible thing I did. He saw every drug. He saw every crime. He knew every evil thought.
He still saw me worthy.
He still saved me.
He gave his life for a ju**ie like me.
As much as he loves me now, he loved me then.
Now, think about how you treat people. Because if the almighty God can give grace and love to drug addicts and homeless people and prostitutes...how could you ever sit so high to judge?
Matthew 9:11-12
But when the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with such scum?”
When Jesus heard this, he said, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do.”
