We all have a nose, eyes, we eat, we live the same. We are equals.
—Teresa Huayta
How great a pleasure it would be
to see the world through the eyes of a child
it’s been years since I’ve seen with untainted eyes
and yet each day is the opportunity to see the world as I once did
I think often about how God loves me
and yet struggle to understand how He can love everyone the same my enemies; those who kill and hate and steal
It’s a humbling and baffling moment
when you realize that the lines you draw for who God loves and accepts do not even exist in His mind
He loves beyond human comprehension
Every day is a reminder that while our love is finite
God’s love is infinite, as vast as the entirety of space and still . . . more.
