Nineteen51
Beloved of All
We can't have a chip on our shoulder thinking our lives are more special and others' problems are less important to God than our own. With God, there are no lack of common resources. Don't take more for yourselves and leave less for others. If you are nursing a bigger wound than that person who you perceive has a smaller wound, and you attack them instead of helping them, you are in the wrong. Maybe your wound is larger because God thinks you can handle that better than that person you looked down upon. Feeling entitled? Hurting and attacking others who are weaker than you is bullying, so think about consequences and don't assume that everything will turn out great in your prayer life if you do. We need to love each other like Christ loved us. Nobody was in worse shape on that cross than Jesus, but instead of having a chip on His shoulder, he asked God for mercy on you, me, and to all the sinners beneath Him. It is amazing when people see others as beneath them, criticizing their belief and motives, and seeing themselves as superior, but when the One who truly is in that position, Jesus had nothing but love in Him. I hope this will resonate with those who have been yelling at anyone here lately. It is with such sadness I wrote this. God, please forgive my tone. Amen.
