Ever since I can remember I've had a special affection for the underdog. And so hearing that Romas (gypsies) are treated as outcasts in their own country — as if they're Romania's dirty, little secret — it broke my heart. But when I stepped foot into a Gypsy Village a few days ago… I didn't see outcasts. I saw something different, something lovely. I saw life. I saw beauty. I saw light. I saw joy. I saw love.
I saw the face of Jesus… and this is what it looked like.

'I can guarantee this truth: Whatever you did for one of my brothers or sisters, no matter how unimportant [they seemed], you did for me.' – Jesus
The opportunity to love on people is everywhere… no matter how unimportant people seem… Because the truth is, to love Jesus is to love ALL people.. And in doing so, you might just be surprised by what you find, by what you see…
