What If?

 

What would happen if we actually accepted others the way Christ accepts us?  What would happen if for just a moment, we could realize just a glimmer of the love that God has for each and every one of us, regardless of what we have done in the past?  What if we chose to share that love to each and every person that we come in contact with--whether friend or foe, family, friend, or perfect stranger? 

If we could make the conscious decision to  share that love, it would vastly impact our families, friends, and our world.  As Christians, we have what each and every soul is looking for...love, acceptance and hope.  We have received those through God, who equips and commands us to share them with the rest of the world.

He does not tell us to share our judgemental attitudes.  He does not tell us to hide ourselves away and accept only those like ourselves, but to reach out and love each other--regardless of who they are or what they have done in the past.  The Bible actually even says that the world will know us by our love.  That is how God tells us to define Christianity to the rest of the world.

If we could just be loving to those God places in our path each day,  I just bet the world would stop viewing us as a bunch of legalistic hypocrites and would actually be interested in the message that we are supposed to be sharing...God loves you and wants to have a personal relationship with you.  He wants to walk with you through the good and the bad that life offers, and help you to find and fulfill the special purpose for which you were placed on this earth.

True Christianity is not about rules, but is a relationship--with God and your fellow man. May God truly bless you and show you his perfect love and peace so that you can share them with everyone you meet.What would happen if we actually accepted others the way Christ accepts us?  What would happen if for just a moment, we could realize just a glimmer of the love that God has for each and every one of us, regardless of what we have done in the past?  What if we chose to share that love to each and every person that we come in contact with--whether friend or foe, family, friend, or perfect stranger?
