Love transends all
Yes i have not been blogging lately, maybe it was due to the exams i was facing or just pure laziness.
Although i have not been blogging, i have been reading other peoples blogs.
I used to use blogging as a way to vent my frustrations when i was at the pinnacle of throwing myself off the building. It was just a pure moment of bliss when i read the hateful things i have wrote in matters of injustice in life. I thought that by letting others know my very strong views and takes about those matters, i would change something. It might be their thinking of that person or event. I just enjoyed being in control when i blog about other people. I knew that by impersonating the names i would get away scott free without trouble from the authorities. But all this were just temporal. Everytime i visit my blog, i would see "Jesus, king of this life, this heart" and my postings which were just pure lousy at being a living testimony for christ. I choose to ignore it as i thought it was just a skin, something that was a facade. But thank God that gradually i began to sense the wrong in posting such devious things and cracking jokes out of such crude humour. I thought to myself, is Jesus really the king of My heart? this was really hard for me.
It was then that i chanced upon this verse, that says " This commandment we have from him; whoever loves God must also love his brother." 1Jn 4:21
Have i been loving my brothers by speaking of such evil about them? i would love to say yes, but sadly i shook my head. I had not shown the love that Jesus had shown for me, and i still say that i am a christian.
For what is a christian if he has no love for his neighbours and enemies?
I would rather not be a christian if i had no love for others.
I had no acceptance for others and was unwilling to just love others for who they are, i tend to love the good side of people and despise the bad.
Was this what Jesus had shown for me?
No
He loved me when i was a sinner and through this i could find the strength to love others unconditionally.
"we love because he(God) first loved us" 1jn 4:19
Yes we must all learn to love and accept one another.
because " anyone who does not love.does not know God" 1jn4:8
Thus love your others as you love yourself
