Happy Friday, it's September 24th, and you're listening to The Pour Over.

Thanks for joining us.

Here's the quote of the day.

We are never nearer Christ than when we find ourselves lost in a holy amazement at his

unspeakable love, John Owen.

It's still unclear why nearly 15,000 Haitians showed up to the US Southern border this week,

but for many of the journeys started by leaving Haiti for South or Central America after

the devastating earthquake in 2010.

Now, the group's fate is mixed.

A US official said Haitians are being released into the country on a very, very large scale,

while others are being flown back to Haiti.

The US special envoy to Haiti resigned in protest over these quote, inhumane deportations,

saying conditions in the country are not safe.

And he's not the only person upset.

The Department of Homeland Security suspended use of horse patrol at the border after photos

of agents using horses to disperse migrants sparked bipartisan anger.

Jesus showed compassion when people expected rejection, gentleness when people expected

anger, and love when people expected hate.

Whether you're interacting with migrants or co-workers this week, be imitators of Christ.

Love is patient, love is kind.

It does not envy, it does not boast.

It is not proud, it does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily
