Freedom starts with honesty. We aren’t doing ourselves any favors by defining ourselves as good and others as bad. Let’s just agree that we all need help, that we are all in this together.
The Wise Men were packing, the angels were watching and the shepherds had no idea whose mother just walked past them.
Everything was about to change - forever.
Just stay with it, fellow sojourner in Jesus. Keep putting one foot in front of the other. When you can’t go any further, sit down & rest till you can. Run when you’re able. Collapse when you must. Help others back to their feet when you can. This perilous journey ends in bliss.
There are no conditions on “Love Thy Neighbor.”
No addendum to “Welcome the Stranger”.
Zero amendments to the Golden Rule.
And if I’m wrong, watch me err on the side of inclusion and love.
Always, love.
Remember who called you.
Remember when he called you.
Remember how he called you.
Remember what he called you too.
Remember why he called you.
When all is said and done, it is for Jesus that we live, and to him we will give an account. Stay faithful. He is worthy.
