Love Bridge
Saturday, September 14, 2024
I was reading a Rory Feek blog post and found a perfect message that reaches and teaches. Here are a few timely keywords.
"But we should have a culture of redeeming people, not canceling them. I don’t think it’s fair to accuse people of things without even asking them or seeking answers for yourself or to accuse someone of something without any chance to respond.
Pray that we will put our selfishness aside and choose to love each other. Pray that we will put our devices and accusations down, swallow our pride, get in the same room, and begin talking and listening to each other, even if it’s hard and uncomfortable. Pray that God can and will, in the end, use this for His good."
We live in a self-centered world. We live in a world where nothing can be believed, but every word is weighted with trauma-drama, and those who share with anger are often believed. Jesus taught differently...to boldly love.
I know that Jesus doesn't call me to hurt others. He calls me to see them as he does. Yes, I fail at this occasionally as I rush through my days. One thing that I won't allow myself to do is argue with anyone. I'm going to let God handle my peace—to be the love bridge. I know I may never see his hand deliver my broken relationships in my lifetime, but I trust.
