Jesus said, " If you love me, you will obey what I command."
Even though sometimes I wanna break
my teeth
I will.
Because my teeth are quite inferior to the love of the Father.
And even though sometimes I want to rip
off my fists,
I will
because my fists are immensely minuscule to love Chirst has for me.
For you are preparing a place for ME.
A place with the brightest lights I've ever seen
but I can look into it
and see that it is beautiful
and it will not pain my eyes
A place with smooth glass flowers
that grow above my head
and when I climb them
I can sit on top in the most comfort I've felt
and gaze upon your beauty
There I will be joyful.
There I will be glad.
There I will be content.
So I will seek the Lord every day because I have yet to find anything on this earth that I know is completely good except in my God. Praise be to him forever.

Note to Self: Forgive them for they know not what they doooooo
So I'm sitting at work (if you wanna call it that) listening to two coworkers argue about something stupid. The situation is pretty unrelated and would be pretty hard to explain so I will spare you the boring details and cut to the chase. One coworker was accusing the other of being a hypocrite. I'm almost positive it wasn't meant to be taken personally. Anyway the guy says, "You're just a big ole' hypocrite. You're just like a christian. Sheessh, christian." So I'm sitting here thinking wow... I'm pretty offended right now. Although the next thought that ran through my head was well, I guess he's right, you know. Cause that's like the number one thing people think of when they think of Christians. Cause most Christians go around telling other people that they're sinners and need to repent.
But then I got to thinking about it a bit more and came to asking myself why a lot of Christians come off that way. I mean they make it seem like once you repent you're all better and no longer one of those nasty sinners. When really, if you look in the bible it talks about how we're all sinners, no matter if we're saved or not. When we're saved we're no longer slaves to sin and we try not to sin to please God and grow closer to him. But by no means should we think we're better than others. Actually the bible says that we should be the exact opposite "Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord and he will lift you up." It's like people read it and quote it to each other, but they don't actually get it. Like the Pharisees or something. And this always brings me back to, I don't think people take Christianity as seriously as it was meant to be taken. Myself included.
Then I thought well, that train of thought gets me nowhere besides being disappointed in people. Then I'm reminded that I do a lot of stuff without any regard to who I claim to be. So I guess that's what it all comes down to. Cause Christians will never be perfect but sometimes on occasion something beautiful happens and we forgive one another for our shortcomings and have open minds and we become transformed.
