Luke 7:47

Therefore, I tell you her many sins have been forgiven, for she loved much.

But he who has been forgiven little loves little.

Nothing shocked Jesus. He had great compassion for those who were hurting. He grieved with those who were grieving. But sin did not shock him [ Jesus knew the sin was from a broken relationship] Jesus offers a relationship. This was his solution to sin.

The things people do often shocked us. The News we hear, the way people behave, people doing things that hurt others.

when we feel this way, we need to remember they are just like us, imperfect people loved by God shown Grace by the one who made them.

our debts cost God the same as theirs

this week’s goal is to put that attitude into action.

This is not to talk to people about God. Be ready to give answers honestly if asked

1. Start each day in prayer

confess your sins and thank God for his forgiveness.

Ask God to let you see others how he does

Ask God to show you, someone, today that makes you uncomfortable or that shocks you.

tell him you are ready to respond.

2. be ready for God’s prompting

keep your eyes out for the people God puts on your heart that challenge you.

3. Ask questions

approach them with an open heart

Ask questions be curious

you do not have to ask about the things that challenge you

just start a conversation like you would anyone you would like to know better

4. communicate value

As you learn about the people you communicate with this week, look for something worth praising. Tell them what you appreciate about them

5. as last week take notes. Names, what you learned about this person, speak to as many people as you can.
