let me just get right to it: we all have people in our lives whom we find difficult to love at times.you just wish they weren't in your lives or that they would change in some miraculous manner.
but they don't.
and that's just it.
they won't change.
at least not by your doing.
it's you who has to be the one to change your perspective of that person.
discussing it in smallgroup, I realized that I could either continue to hate on these types of people and just be miserable doing so or I could do something about it and actually strive to obtain different perspectives of them, thus entering into the first steps of loving someone.
it all comes down to me.
of course, it's easier said than done, cause it would be way easier to just continue hating on that person and just pointing out the bad things about them.
and once you start picking out the things that bother you about them, you just can't stop.
but God sees us all the same and loves every single one of His marvelous creations.
so who am I to hate? and who am I to judge?
I feel like I had such a peaceful summer.
now it's back to reality.
back to immersing myself in this world that is so filled to the brim with sin and temptations.
ah, challenges--where would we be without them?
I repeat: be careful what you pray for.
