As I read the news about Britney Spears trying to hang herself, my heart sank. I was deeply saddened by this, but was also reminded that people are around us are hurting and need hope and help. I pray that the Christian community doesn’t judge this girl, but instead prays for her.

They don’t need people who are going to tell them what to do. They are seeking someone who will show them the way. I pray that as followers of Jesus, our lives model a lifestyle that reflects the way of Jesus: love, grace, truth, forgiveness, courage, generosity, faithfulness, passion, and humility (to name a few).
