God cares for the misfits

Sometimes I find it difficult to feel that God cares for us. Sometimes it's hard to know where he is in this crazy world. But, the there are days like today when it is so obvious that God cares and is right in the middle of this crazy world. I work with a man who I think most of society would consider to be a social misfit. He's a single father trying to raise two teenage boys. He doesn't have the best personal hygiene or social skills. Today someone randomly brought him an ice cream bar from dairy queen. I don't know who it was, but it was someone. Even though this man may have a very difficult time fitting in and fighting off racism, there is still someone who cares about him. This got me thinking, sometimes I feel like I don't fit in, but there is always someone who cares about me. This world is sinful and because of that there will always be misfits. I may not be able to care for every single one of them, but I can show the ones that I know that they are valued and important in this world. I challenge you also to think of the misfits that you know. Do they know how precious and important to God they are? How can you make them feel like they belong in this crazy world?
