Walking with others

This week, the wwKids in the discovery studio had the opportunity to learn to walk in someone else’s shoes. This is a concept that many people have already heard of but seldom think of. When there is a problem it is so easy to quickly judge instead of thinking from their perspective. This can even be put into technical terms when it comes to personality traits and learning styles, because we are all wired differently, and part of that is because of the environment that we were in growing up and are in now.

Even though this is the case, it can still be hard to remember this and be willing to show mercy to those who may need it. So this week, because I had the ability to teach and interact with this lesson first-hand, I now want to be able to practice what I teach and encourage you to do the same. Be willing to show the love of God even though it is not always the first thing instinctively done. People still need it.
