"I spent all of yesterday thinking about the men I met over the weekend at Angola and the experiences God had blessed me with during my Kairos. It was Christianity in its purest form, free from religious pretensions and prejudices and free from the obsessive rituals we go through in our efforts to be accepted by God. The men I met had lost all worldly goods, relationships, and dreams and were facing darkness without end. Many of the ones I spoke with have realized that what they had done was evil and wrong and they wondered how anyone, including God, could truly love them after what they had done.The words "When I was yet a sinner, God loved me, and gave His only Son to die for me in order that I might have eternal life" became a reality. Though I had committed a serious crime in the eyes of the law of man, I had committed the serious crime of lack of compassion for those whom I had despised and wished only to "rid" from my world. Now I can understand in my heart what I had only understood on an intellectual level, in the faces of the most needy and the most unlovable in this world, the face of Jesus shines through and He reminds me that I cannot truly say that I love God if I do not love my neighbor and I cannot truly say that I love my neighbor if I neglect to tend to my neighbors needs. When we love the unlovable, miracles happen. Praise be to God."
