his unconditional love,


no matter what your race, gender or age,
no matter where you live or school,
you are a Child of God.

confession time. In the past, i don't know what it was, but i was never the most fond of people with autism. I don't know what it was, but something intimidated me about that, i didn't know how to deal with it, and i knew it was wrong, but i felt like it was something i had to get over with time.

and i did. the past month of so, our drama class had to opportunity had the chance to work with the autistic class at school, helping them set up and put on a play for their parents. It was through this experience that i truly got to see and understand them. I realized that they're actually hilarious, and adorable, watching their behaviour and learning more about them. About how they react to everything, whereas we can block out certain things, that their minds work slower than ours, while being more intelligent than we expect. For instance, one of them really enjoys legs, seeing any girl with a dress on, he immediately goes towards them, making conversation, like he's a radar or something. Another is just full of energy and enthusiasm, and i notice that when he interacts with the mirror in the classroom, its a whole different side of him, making faces, talking to himself, its just so different, but it isn't "abnormal", they're just as equal as we are, people with feelings, emotions and dreams, loved by God, but they only have a different thinking process.

God still has unconditional love for each and every one of us, no matter what we've been through and no matter what we've done. He made us in his image, he placed us here at this moment in time, for a specific reason and purpose. At my age, i don't think i'll understand the love and connection between the parent and their child, but it must be extremely strong. Our parents really do everything they can for us because they really love us that much.


verse of the day: 1 John 4:9-10
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
