This week I’ve been reflecting on a quote I read recently by philosopher Martin Buber. “When I meet a man, I am not concerned about his opinions. I am concerned about the man." ~ Martin Buber
That sounds to me a lot like how it is that God looks at us. It’s not our opinions that matter to him, it’s us. It’s who we are. We all walked away from God, and may even be his bitter enemies as far as what it is we tell ourselves God is like. But even so, with all our pathetic opinions of him, he still sent his Son to die for us.
I’m seeing there’s something here for me to learn: I plan to become increasingly disinterested in anyone’s opinions in favor of focusing on the person himself so as to be concerned just about who he or she is beyond all opinions.
