From the Mouth of Babes

This drawing was created by one of the students in my Kindergarten class. She drew this picture during her free time. After she was finished drawing the picture she had brought it to me, and I had asked her to tell me about the picture. She told me that she drew the world and the people in the world around it. She had made the people all different shapes, sizes, color, and genders on purpose. She then told me that they are holding hands around the world with Jesus, because He loved them so much that He had died for them. 
This picture had touched my heart. I loved how she used all different types of people. It had demonstrated to me that what matters the most to her, is what is in the inside. She does not care about the way people look. She has a heart of love and compassion for the people who live all around the world. I found this picture to be profound, because as adults we sometimes focus on the exterior and forget about the person. The fact that this child put the people holding hands around the world speaks so loud and clear to me. We need to stop focusing on who we are and those who are like us, but rather reach out to those who are different. It is so sad that a child can gain this concept so easily, but adults wage war after war, and fight after fight, due to differences. I hope this picture touched your heart as much as it had mine!
