Most of us carry a mental list of people who test our patience, the coworker who takes credit for your work, the relative who never lets things go, the stranger online who says exactly the wrong thing. It’s easy to write them off. It’s harder to see them the way God does.
Using Exodus 20:13, Pastor Steve tells the true story of a 22-year-old who stopped a mass shooter in fifteen seconds, along with a moment from his own life when a stranger nearly attacked him with a pipe in a parking lot. Both stories point to the same truth: every human being carries the image of God.
Maybe you’re nursing a grudge against someone who wronged you, or catching yourself scrolling through someone else’s life online, wishing it were yours. Anger and envy feel small until you see where they lead.
Stop letting old resentment write your story. Start seeing the people in front of you, even the ones who frustrate you most, as image bearers worth protecting.
Watch now and take the first step toward laying something down.
