my resolve!
okay, so I have been thinking. yes, i do think alot.
Yesterday, when I was having my quiet time, I was thinking about how I treat people.
When I think about it, I make exceptions for loving everyone. I say
" oh, but they're being annoying, so i can tell them to just shut up."
"oh, but they are so weird"
"oh, but they are being mean to me"
"oh, but I'm sick of them."
BUT! then I thought about Jesus, and how he has UNCONDITIONAL LOVE for EVERYBODY! He doesn't just love the beautiful, kind-all-the-time, popular, smart people. He loves the dorky, annoying, ugly, fat, mean, bully, unpopular, nerdy people too. AND HE DIED FOR THEM. so who am I to not love them? Am I equal to God that I can not treat one of his children with the kindness and respect that they deserve? nope, I'm not and I should be treating everyone the way He did.
Matthew 25:40 "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' "
That's one of my favorite verses, because it shows that the way we treat people shows if we love God or not.
so, join me in my resolve to love evrybody, and we can start a revolution! A revolution towards kindness and humbleness. A revolution towards being like Jesus.
If you are serious about this, take the pledge:
I do solemly pledge to honor God with my actions, specifically in treating his children, ALL HIS CHILDREN, the way He would treat them, and nothing less.
Did you take the pledge? if you did, keep it, and rate your self every day on your progress!
in Him,
Ashley
