Hi there,
How's things going?
How are you going with the challenge of being honest with yourself?
How are you going with your work?
Lately I've been thinking about love, and what it really takes to love your enemy?
What happens when you get shut down every day by your enemy?
What if your ''enemy" is always accusing of things you are purely capable but words from your enemy shut you down, it slowly wears you out.
Like a broken piece piece of glass that is left on the beach, once was sharp, now worn down and less shinny.
The sharpness rubbed, off, perhaps you once were sharp, but life has worn you down, and you wonder if you can shine out again.
If you think of a mirror, what does it reflect?
It doesn't reflect the chair, in the back ground, it reflects you, and you are a master piece.
In this world, as you grow older my friends, people will hurt you, and we know we have enemies, we know that we have our worse enemy that is Satan, and Satan, is looking for a weakness and he will use any agent he can find to make us as Christians weak, sometimes wearing us out to something that once once sharp, now worn out.
What happens if we are just worn out?
What happens if we get around in the wrong crowds?
What happens if you just can't get back up, and you're wondering what life is all about?
You can take Godly advice, you can take what comes your way, but sometimes we need to find things for ourselves.
What happens if people can't take kindness?
Well it's just you being kind, it's them that can't take it.
It's not a fault, it's actually, a good thing that you care.
I care about the little things, the stresses of cooking, but to know you have done, a nice job, presenting food nicely, and it tastes good. not about the bad words spoken to me every day.
God calls us to put others first, and by putting others first, we will show love to the ones that can't accept it.
The ones, that slowly, grate away, all the goodness, the ones that are always in your space, and the ones who don't help you, when you help them.
It might be that some how they are working out plans to have you not have a job.
You know?
Ester, who knew about Haman's plan, spoke up, and she knew that she was made for a time to speak up.
As Chirstians, if we are getting constantly hated, we can speak up, if we hear things that are about us, we can talk, to them.
We can face it head on.
But in love, because who are we helping?
If you look at it, we are helping our enemies by reaching out to them.
By doing this and not going, "I told you so'' and accusing them on things that they accuse us on, we are showing kind love.
Enemies look for a way to make us feel guilty, but with Christ, he makes us be with out blame.
Do you notice the opposite?
We are reaching out with love, to them.
We are also on a journey, and our journey isn't finished until we have finished the race marked out for us.
God doesn't prolong pain, he doesn't make our race that much further, just to get a kick out of it. When we are over come by love, we are, loved by God.
Well I have a friend here, so must dash.
Chloe
