People are really weird. I don't understand them. I know. Technically, I am a human, but I don't understand them.

Technically. Don't get them. But you know what? You can look at people and get really disgusted and frustrated with people. You can. I get it. It's funny, though, with little kids, if they're lost in a stray, we feel for them, and our heartbreaks for a child who's lost, somebody who's an adult. Now, again, I'm not excusing childish behavior from adults,

but it really is true the way that Jesus saw people and sees people is their lost sheep.

And it's heartbreaking. And there's a description where in the Bible we're talking about

Jesus going from city to city, and it says he looked on the people with compassion.

He looked on them with love. They were immoral. They were proud. They were obnoxious. And he still looked at people with love.

And I know it's hard, like you set out for your day, whatever you're doing, or going through your day, you see people, and it's just like, you know, I want it away. Try to look on them with compassion because even if they're totally frustrating, they're, in a deep sense, they're lost.

Yeah, it's hard. You can watch the news or just interact with people in general and get pretty frustrated.

I understand that. I can feel that way too. Just like, why do these people think this, believe this, act this way?

I don't get it.

Phenomenally, somehow God looks at them and loves them.

It's a mystery to me, but it's kind of the same mystery when it comes to me.

Like, how does you look at people?

That's what I was trying to remind myself. You are that person in some way, maybe not to the extent that they are or what they believe or what they do, but I am to God. I'm the same person.

In some other way. Yeah. Yeah. And this is really hard because a lot of people want to make distinctions again about why. Okay, but I'm good and this person is bad and here's why. Versus saying, okay, I don't deserve the grace that God has given me. I don't deserve it. One way or the other, whether I want to say I'm better in this area or that, I don't deserve it. I have to look at these people the way that God does, and he wants them. He still wants to adopt them into his family. Amazing. Oh, man, just came up with a great idea.

We can't have all sorts of inventions on this show and innovations.

Yes.

So Amazon and somebody else, Walmart's talking about drones and dropping stuff.

Google's doing this too.

Like, you order a product.
