A Role Model

There is a girl in my youth group who is a farily new Christian. She's a few years younger than I am and we don't see each other much outside of church, so we don't talk a lot. A few weeks ago at church I was upset about something and she walked into the sanctuary with some of her friends. When she saw me, she left her friends and crossed the room to give me a hug, just because I "looked like" I needed it. Normally, I don't like hugs, but this was one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me. It was so simple, but so selfless. Even though she is kind of new to the whole "Christian" thing, it is easy to see Jesus in the way she goes out of her way to love people. I want to be like that.

You are like that. There has been serveral times when something happened to someone and it was mentioned you where the only one who asked about them. You've asked me if i was ok before and i know i'm not one of your favorite people to talk to. You have a bigger heart then you think you do dont be so hard on yourself.
