God is Love and He Loves everyone

Oli otya? 

How are you?

I am doing well. Uganda is my home. I love it here. The smells, the people, the jungles, the mountains. All of it. 

Today was our last day in Jinja. We started off the week visiting the same fishing village two days in a row. It smelled, there was evident disease, people couldn't write, some couldn't see, some were tall, others short, some with teeth, some toothless, they were covered in dirt, sweat, and sores. But you know what? They are loved by a King. 

You see, we are no different than the smelly villagers. We sin, we are smelly and covered in dirt. Our odor is unfathomable, but God loves us. 

Let me be crazy, and tell you He not only loves you, but He picks you up, and wipes the grime away. 

Pretty cool right? 

God loves- smelly, dirty, and sore-covered, he simply loves you.

He takes you at face value, and knows what he is doing. 

I think that is pretty cool, don't you?
