Great. Another tough message to listen to at our church. You know what? I've decided that I really hate it when God gives me a kick in the pants. I think I'm doing just fine and then BOOSH.
Kick in the pants.
One of our youth pastors was talking about how to love. Wow, right? And that wasn't even what really caught my attention. Sure, I know how to love. I love people everyday! I love my friends, family... No. Not that loving all those people doesn't count, but by showing the love that I have to just my friends and family... is that really imitating God's love for us? Did God just love on his disciples? Of course not! God loves every single human being on this planet unconditionally. Now can I do that? Obviously not. But, I can show love to all those kids I normally ignore at swim practice, or the poor guy that has to bag my tampons at Kroger!
What I really remember from Todd's message was a verse from John:
"Our love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples."
Basically what this says is that by loving people we are showing the whole world that we are followers of Christ! No pressure or anything! It is by his love that we are alive and breathing today, why not shout it from the roof tops are share it with the rest of the world?
by his love,
