I feel like my last post was a little .. "hard". It made it seem like horses are difficult to connect with; they peek into your soul and judge, when in fact, horses are the least judgemental of all!
When you meet a horse, they don't see the colour of your skin, they don't really care about your past or how you got to be the way you are today. They don't care if you did your hair that day or if you have the coolest clothes. Their friendship transcends all boundaries. They meet you where you are.
I see a shimmery reflection of God in this way. God always meets us right where we are, as we are. We do not have to make up extravagant stories about our past or try to explain why we are the way we are, we don't have to worry about all the stereotypes that come with race, age, gender, health, status or wealth. We just get to be honest and be present.

So, although a short post in length, millions of miles in depth! Oh to be as gracious as a horse towards the people God has placed around us. Let's learn from the horse and meet people where they are at. Let's take captive our judgemental thoughts, for we have no idea what that person may be walking through.
