At Christus Good Shepherd, we have an associate who sees others as "people in progress". When someone has a crisis, she is regularly checking on them and praying for them out of her beautiful heart. She cares deeply for each person and listens to their story, regardless of how they have been on their worst days. She truly loves like Jesus.
Father, You have made us free to live our own story. That brings with it, many ups and downs which have shaped our lives. Thank you for that freedom and for never abandoning me on that path. Help me appreciate and learn from every person's story and personal journey with you. Amen.
