How often do we make split second judgments and condemnations without first considering who a person may really be or what they may be going through? As Christians, we're not called to condemn. Rather, we're called to love others fully as Christ loves each one of us.

The real challenge comes in the form of loving those who persecute us. This seems counter-intuitive by today's worldly standards, but as Christians, that's exactly what we're called to do.

When we have great faith, God can do great things within us.

Like the prophet Isaiah, we may find ourselves making excuses for why we aren't good enough to do what the Lord asks, but through God all things are possible. It takes courage to recognize the call and answer it, but graces abound when we say "yes Lord, Here I am, send me!"
