This series of art was inspired by some misunderstood kids I know - and by the song AMAZING LOVE. The lyrics are below. The youtube video is here for the song - so you can think about it as you listen and look around.

The Bible teaches us not to judge hypocritically

... but to judge according to truth.

I walk among these kids who are often judged wrongly to be "evil" based solely on their clothing or their hair.

I hope this inspires any one who might look at our youth harshly, or in fear - based only on outward appearances...to look again. If we throw away these kids because we are uncomfortable- then the very evils they have been wrongly accused of may be their only refuge.

Maybe their dark clothes or hair style isn't 'my thing' - but maybe my thing is not 'their thing' either.

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."
~ Matthew 7: 1-5 ~

AMAZING LOVE

I’m forgiven because You were forsaken. I’m accepted, You were condemned. I’m alive and well, Your Spirit is within me because You died and rose again.

I’m forgiven because You were forsaken. I’m accepted, You were condemned. I’m alive and well, Your Spirit is within me because You died and rose again.

Amazing love, how can it be that You, my King, would die for me? Amazing love, I know it’s true - It’s my joy to honor You. In all I do, To honor You.
