Be a safe place. Look at people through eyes of compassion, not eyes of judgment. You don’t know their story. We see what people do; we don’t know why they do it. Some people are dealing with things we’ve never had to deal with. They're carrying heavy loads, burdened by mistakes, trying to break addictions and generational baggage. Let’s be healers. Let’s be lifters. Jesus said, “You are the light of the world, a city on a hill that cannot be hidden.” You’re a city that cannot be hidden. You’re impacting people all around you. The question is what kind of city are you? I’m asking you to be a city of refuge, not a city of guilt, a city of condemnation, a city that cancels and spreads accusations. Nobody wants to live in those cities. Make sure your city is full of mercy, compassion, forgiveness. Be a person that gently restores, that lifts the fallen. Sure, we’re going to be tempted to condemn, find fault. Put those rocks down. We’re not the judge; we’re the healers. We’re the ones to love people back into wholeness.
