The worth of souls is GREAT!







A few weeks ago my little family went to my hometown for a visit. The kids like to go to Grandma and Grandpas house for a week each summer. They tell me…. “It’s a Magical place” While we were there, we attended the county fair. I notice a few men going here and there doing little odd jobs. As one of the Men walked past me, I couldn’t help but notice written on the back of his shirt it read “Inmate” OK, I get it now…… These were men from the local prison who were out on release time doing assigned work. I sat back and observed these men for awhile. I also watched how others treated them. Some people were going on about their business, and others, giving looks of disgust as if to say “you are a horrible person!” I couldn’t help but think; how awful we would all feel if we had to walk around with our poor choices, and struggles written allover our shirt. Perhaps, we would look at one another differently. And, maybe, we would be a bit surprised. The lord looketh upon the heart and so should we! It was a great reminder that we must do our best not to judge. Only God knows the details of our lives.  Our worth is equal!
