Thank Goodness We Are Not Asked To Change People

In our faith, we are not asked to change people.

We are just called to love people where they are.

How completely comforting that thought is.

There is such hope and freedom in that idea.

“I loved the fact that it wasn’t my responsibility to change somebody, that it was God’s, that my part was just to communicate love and approval.”

–Donald Miller, Blue Like Jazz
