We christians have filled up our religion with comfortable padded pews, crystal clear sound systems, amazing conferences, rockin music, cool skits, funny sermons, inspiring books, but we have forgot love.......
I thank God for all those things, but if we forget love, then there is not point. Then we are no different than the buddist temple down the street if we have no love.
Who cares if you had a great devotional time with God, or had good quiet time, if you dont love.
I think us Christians have forgot what love is all about. I once asked a girl about Love and she told me she loved everyone. That might have been true to some extent, but after talking it out she admitted that she merely was ok with everyone.
Real love is a totally unselfishly giving of yourself and caring for another whether it benefits you or not. Whether the person is nice to you or not. Whether the person talks to you or not. Whether the person is cool to hangout with or not. Because the fact is, no matter how cool you really think you are, no matter how much better, or how you think someone else will Love them and its not for you to Love them, we didnt deserve anything Christ did for us.
How are you going to sit there and think your to popular or to good to talk to that person. WE DONT EVEN DESERVE TO BE ALIVE!!!
Thank God that he is not like us. Cause if he was like us, we would all be dead.
Lately I have been overwhelmed by the apathy around everywhere. My brothers and sisters are having great ministry, great devotions, great services, but lack of Love. There is so much APATHY!!!!!!
So anyone who reads this, including me, please love, and love well. If you want to show God that you love him, Love people, because that is the only thing that truly matters.
I love you guys.
