—Acts 10:34-47
by: Benjamin Uhlich.
For a majority of my life, I have felt like an outcast—whether because of some of my less-common interests, my preferences in music, or the ways I choose to physically present myself. A man who has acted as a mentor to me for the last 14 years showed me acceptance and love despite, and in some cases because of, my differences. Where I came from, how I dress, and the types of entertainment I enjoyed did not change the way he loved me. This is just a fraction of the unconditional and inclusive love of God. Nobody is barred from the Kingdom of God because of where they are from or anything about them. The gift of salvation through Jesus Christ is free to anybody who accepts it by acknowledging Him as Lord.
