Instead of joining the war of what’s right and wrong right
now, I just want to encourage my fellow Christians to do something more
powerful then join in the argument. I
want to encourage you to love. It’s that simple. You’re not going to change people with your
stupid opinions. They have enough of
their own and are not going to be swayed by yours. The one thing that will sway
the popular opinion is to love.
If you love a person with all the love of Jesus, that love
will change them from the inside out. I
mean, isn’t that what it did for you?
The love of Jesus changed you!
Jesus loved you so much that He created you. He gave you
life. Why? He allowed you the freedom to sin. Why? He died to take the
punishment for your sin. Why? He still
loves you even though you failed again. Why? Because, He loves you, and He want’s to have a relationship with you.
Every time you let Jesus love you, you change a little more. You open up and let the pain and anger and
hatred and everything ugly out and love pours in. The changes might be little
and hard to see, but take a look at your life five years ago. Your
different. The difference you are seeing
right now is either good or bad...It’s either the process of love, or the
poison of pain, anger, etc.
Don’t be the pain and anger that stops the change in
people’s lives. Be the love that leads
to a faithful relationship with Papa!
Don’t forget that God’s not done working on you yet! Take
this opportunity to grow a little yourself. Let this be a season to open up and
let some of your own wounds be healed.
