CRITICIZED
Today's reading: Acts 9-11

"Soon the news reached the apostles and other believers in Judea that the Gentiles had received the word of God. But when Peter arrived back in Jerusalem, some of the Jewish believers criticized him. You entered the home of Gentiles and even ate with them! they said." Acts 9:1-3 NLT

I don't know who I'll sit by in service tomorrow.

Not sure who God will direct to my church, my pew, my personal space.

I have no clue what their past, present or future is littered with.

I'll have to look past what they're wearing or what they've chosen to ink on their temples.

I'll have to get past all of that because they need the word of the Lord.

So, I'll share Him with them--no matter who the world has labeled them as being.

You see, one day someone looked beyond who I was, what I was doing wrong, what I wore, my rap sheet of sin, what I had allowed the world to write all over me--and they shared Him with me.
