People

There are people that come into our lives and teach us so much, more than they will ever know. They allow us to accept, to admire, to forgive, and to open our hearts. I've always felt that every person or experience you encounter is for a reason. Whether there is a lesson to be learned or an opportunity to see the world through someone elses eyes, it is for a reason. I'm beginning to truely believe that God puts certain people along our path for a purpose. They themselves may not even realize the effect they're having on anothers life, but through them He is sharing his power. For me, I think His love is most seen through the relationships I have, am beginning, and those that the future holds. It is through Him and his followers that our rocky pasts can be forgiven and we are not defined by what we have done but are able to learn and change from the inside out. Through this we have the strength to never judge others and thus we begin to accept and truely know ourselves as well.
