Wall or Bridge?

Look at how she’s dressed.
Don’t you know where she lives?
He’s weird.
He’s so awkward. Definitely not cool.
They’re so shallow.
They think they’re so smart.
They think they’re so much better than me.
We don’t need to invite him, do we?
She’s so annoying.
He’s too different.

The Love of God

I am a child of God—and so is she.
God loves all of His children.
I should try to see him as God sees him.
We should reach out to her and invite her to our activity.
I just need to get to know him.
Our differences aren’t that important.
Let’s cut each other some slack.
What’s cooler than being kind?
We’re all in this together.
We all need to come unto Jesus Christ.
