Different

What is different?  We are all different.  We all have our own struggles whether we see it or not.  I may go to the store and see a happy cashier who I think is so sweet and she may go home and beat her children because of the stress she is under in life.  We may see someone who looks completely different but we are no better than anyone.

All our lived we've heard that we're "made in the image of god" which is a nice though and one that makes us remember our own value.  However there are many people who do not remember this especially around someone who is different.  I recently just was introduced to a young man who has some great opinions about being different and I would love to share the music video he has for his song.

Before you watch the video linked believe I would like you to close your eyes and imagine the following.  You are hungry and go into a restaurant.  After waiting to be seated for 30 minutes the manager comes to you and says "we don't serve your kind here!"  As you leave in anger, you hear people laughing and pointing at you.  You decide to walk home through the park and you decide to get a drink from a fountain.  You continue to see people judging you and making comments like "don't drink after that person.  Who knows what is wrong with them."  As your walking down the sidewalk you see people avoiding you like you have the plague or something.  Imagine how people have treated you and think about this...have you ever gave someone that thought?  Have you mistreated someone because of them being different?

Please enjoy this video.  Love to you all.
