Selah's love
The other day I was working in Bridge Kids and had an interesting experience. I did not reach a connection to this experience until yesterday. I was going about my duties in Bridge Kids when I saw Meredith working with the walker group and saw she needed some help, kids were crying and she needed someone to step up. I saw that Addy and Selah needed some help up the stairs, so I began to guide them up the stairs and lead them to their room. While I approached the room Selah began to cry so I lifted her up and held her. I noticed that she then stopped crying as I held her. After a little while I tried to put her down but she began to cry again, she just wanted to be held.
Yesterday I began to ponder what had happened that night. Selah only wanted to held and loved. She didn't care what I wore, what my hair looked like or anything on the outside, she just showed love to me because of me. I wish I could love like Selah does, not caring what the person looks like or what the person does, just loving the person for who they are. Selah stopped crying because she was held and because she did not let appearances interfere with her love. I let the appearances interfere with the way I love, maybe they don't look normal or they smell or they act different. These things stop me from loving the way Selah loves, I want to love like a child, not to care about the outside but to love what is on the inside. Maybe if I start to love like Selah loves I can stop the crying (not literally crying, but you know).
