Love Was Always the Point

Jesus has been on my heart lately.

And I keep thinking about how someone who lived with so much goodness, humility, and love… was misunderstood, judged, and hurt so deeply.

That part feels familiar.

It often seems like the people who give the most, who show up the most, who genuinely care… are the ones who get walked on the hardest. I know that was true for me for a long time, until I learned that love without boundaries turns into self-abandonment.

Something else about Jesus keeps standing out to me.

He didn’t sit above people.
He didn’t separate Himself from the hurting.
He didn’t rush to correct or condemn.

He was with the low.
The broken.
The misunderstood.

And if I’m being honest, sometimes Christians can come across high and mighty, even when they don’t mean to. I don’t think it’s always intentional, but I do think it matters. I think we should be extra aware.

If a judgmental thought crosses our mind about someone, maybe that’s the very person we’re meant to love harder. Not avoid. Not fix. Just love.

Because wasn’t that always the point?

Jesus didn’t walk around announcing who He was. He took His time. He built relationships. He served. And people believed because they watched how He lived.

Not because He spoke the loudest… but because He loved the deepest.

Love your neighbor.
Serve one another.

Somehow, in a world that’s constantly rushing and consuming, we’ve forgotten how to do that. We’ve become more focused on being seen than being present. More focused on appearing right than living with compassion.

I try to create awareness through what I share. I pour my heart into words about healing, love, faith, and growth. And honestly? Those posts usually reach the fewest people.

The ones that get the most attention? Pictures. Surface-level things. Even AI images.

And I don’t say that bitterly. I say it observant.

Because I’m realizing this isn’t about reach. It’s about resonance.

Jesus didn’t go viral.
He went deep.

And maybe that’s the reminder.

Live it. Love fully. Serve quietly.
The right people will see you… even if the world scrolls past.
