I don't know a finer definition of what it means to
be a CHRISTian. GOD wants you to go out
this week in the market place of the world where people are hurting and
bleeding emotionally and physically and mentally and spiritually, where people
are hurting with obvious open wounds, and HE wants you to take up the cross. The whole business of CHRISTianity is healing
broken messed up lives. If there is
nothing in your life that has to do with any of that, I honestly doubt your CHRISTianity. I really do.
CHRISTianity is not about just me feeling good and making my life easy,
but it is radically other-centered. The
secret of kindness is to experience GOD's kindness yourself.
Maybe the reason you have a hard time being
forgiving and being kind and understanding is because you've never felt that
way by GOD and you need to realize how kind GOD is to you. When you honestly capture GOD's kindness to
you, HE is irresistible. You can't get
away from it.
Your self esteem is based on who you think the
greatest person in your life thinks about you.
Again, I urge you to make JESUS CHRIST the most important person in your
life. Nobody will ever love you more
than HE does. No one. Some of you have been looking to other people
to meet your needs that only GOD can meet and that's why you're
frustrated. JESUS says, "Come to ME." You need to say, "GOD I accept YOUr
kindness" if you haven't done so.
Just a thought from the front porch…
