Dear Alexandra,
You don’t know me and I wish you didn’t have to. Today I read an article about something that happened to you. Something that should never have happened to you. By someone that should never have treated you with such hate. Someone that claims to be a believer like I am. A follower of Jesus. A christian.
I don’t know about you but life has not been easy for me. It’s been quite the opposite, in fact. I have not always been what you would call a good christian. I suppose that’s what makes me all the more desperate and in need of grace. Of forgiveness. I am a seriously hot mess, in fact. On a scale of 1 to 10, an easy 12. So I suppose that’s why it's fairly easy for me to love people around me and extend empathy. And I suppose that’s also why I also find it so easy to relate with so many people in the Bible. So many of the people Jesus hung out with. Got to know. To love...
