God.
People who have experienced the realness of God so that we can share our experiences.
People who can inspire me.
People who aren't sucked into the images portrayed on tv and change their identity to match it.
People who have their own opinions and knows what's going on in the world.
People with compassion and courage to make right when they see wrong.
People who believe in forgiveness.
People who advocate for Human Rights, Peace, and the Good Lord in the way that He wants. Not crazy Christians who do wrong in the name of God.
