This video made me hit the pause button on my day. I’ll admit I had to fight back tears. Not much needs to be said. Just watch and consider:
- Everyone has a story. When we enter into others’ stories, we connect with their humanity and remember our common Creator.
- Use your gifts for good. God has given you talents, training, and experiences so that you can serve and do good in the world. Find the good you were made to do.
- Imagine the beauty that God sees. If a talented artist like Rick Guidotti has eyes to see such beauty in the midst of struggle, can you imagine the beauty that God sees in the ones that he himself created?
- One day, God will make all things new. May we love and serve others, especially the marginalized, until that day. Come, Lord Jesus.
What stood out to you as you watched the video? Did you find the story as moving as I did? If you or someone you love deals with one of the conditions mentioned in the video, I’d love to hear your honest thoughts on this.

So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:27
Amen.
