His love - In action!

Hey everyone!

A lot of this post will be things I learned from Jesus Culture and a message from church.

We spend so much of our time and energy picking out what other people are doing wrong. Since we waste all of our time doing that, we don't have much time left to really show God's love to people. It's about time we start demonstrating Christianity the way we should!

First of all, no one is going to be motivated by fear. Motivation from fear is TEMPORARY and kinda worthless. I mean, God didn't give us a heart of fear so it's time people quit using fear when they should be using LOVE. Love is an ETERNAL motivator(credited to: Scott Thompson).

There's WAY more to a person than their past sins and mistakes. We should love people no matter what they've done in the past, that's what God does. Jesus paid for EVERYTHING they did. Why can't we think of them how God thinks of them? That's what we should aim to do. We're letting Satan drag us down to his level when we start saying or thinking awful things about other people because of their mistakes. All sins are equally wrong. And Jesus died for every single one of them.

We need to look at the potential of every person and EXPECT GREAT THINGS. Don't expect people to fail. That's destructive. The last thing we need is more destroyed people in this world.

Remember, "Bitterness is the poison I drink to get back at you." It's hurting ourselves(and others) to be bitter.

Start putting God's love into action. Show it to whoever you encounter. Treat people how you want to be treated! Especially if you're having a bad day. When you rise above your own circumstances AMAZING things happen!

Now go change someone's day. No, change someone's LIFE
