We are wonderfully made

So someone showed me this video the other day and it is absolutely incredible that a boy of such a young age can be so much mature and loving than most of the adult population. He has so much unconditional love for this sweet brother and doesn’t even care who knows. I think it is truly admirable what he is doing to make his brother feel important and accomplished.

There’s a lot to be learned from this nine year old boy, starting with his understanding of how important it is to love everyone no matter their race, religion, disability, or appearance. If we take a look at our world today, everything you do is defined by what you look like, who you associate yourself with, or what you are capable of doing. You are judged based on your outward appearance and it should never be like that. Psalm 139:14 says that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. That does not mean that some people are wonderfully made and others aren’t…everyone is wonderfully made. The God of the universe made us so how could we not be good and wonderful? I think a lot of times it is just easier for us to judge someone based on their appearance than go out of our way to get to know who they really are. I know that I do this and I have been trying to be better at it. Especially being in college now, there are some interesting people everywhere on campus and to be honest, I am actually kind of scared to go talk to a lot of them. But I have now realized that I should not be judging these people based on their outward appearances. I should really try and get to know them.

When I graduate UGA, I want to become a special education teacher. This video just makes me even more excited to work with such sweet kids like these two. It makes me heart hurt when I see children get treated poorly just because they may be disabled. I have learned throughout my years working with special needs kids that we have so much to be learned from them about life and living it to the fullest. They have so much love in their hearts and if only we could be like them and this precious nine year old boy, our world would be such a better place.

Matthew 7:12 perfectly sums up what I am trying to get across in this jumbled message, “So in everything, do to other what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.”

I hope that this video really impacts you the way it has impacted me and that you have a blessed day and week!

God Bless!
