I Love Jesus

I think I should go to bed. I got work in the morning and I gotta drop my girlfriend off to her work before I get to my work. Make sense?

People claim that we can be Christians without necessarily becoming disciples. I wonder, then, why the last thing Jesus told us was to go into the world, making disciples of all nations, teaching them to obey all that He commanded? You’ll notice that He didn’t add, “But hey, if that’s too much to ask, tell them to just become Christians—you know, the people who get to go to heaven without having to commit to anything.

Agape.

 First, I would like to apologize whoever reads my blog (if anyone reads my blog). I know I had said I’m going to write a devotion everyday but after a couple times, I felt like it wouldn’t have been genuine because I kinda would be forced to write instead of writing from my heart.. So I decided to write whenever I got pushed to..

      So maybe about an hour ago, I picked up my girlfriend from work and she wanted tacos soooo we went and got the tacos she wanted. So as I was in line, there were 3 guys talking about money and how much they make blah blah and they were maybe about 22 ? k so anywho, they talked about money soo much as if it was their beloved, or like money is the only thing that revolves around them. I’m not judging or saying anything about them but I thought, “man, why don’t I ever talk about God like that anymore ?” Then I got convicted to share the gospel but ughh my flesh got to me.. then some random dude with red pants goes up to them and asks for something which I didn’t really pay attention to until the biggest guy out of the 3 starts cussing at him and trying to get into a fight with him for no reason. That’s when I started to pay attention and it reallllly bugged me.. I really wanted to do something maybe like hm punch that bully in the face because I know how it feels to be bullied. I saw the guy with the red pants walking away and talking about how he has no minutes on his phone and the bully starts cussing. And  I thought, imagine how this world would be if it were filled with love and compassion instead of anger and hate. I’m sure everybody knows that if the world were filled with love, the world would be flawless, yet it is soo hard to spread love. For some reason, we don’t feel comfortable spreading love. Or shall I say, I don’t feel comfortable spreading love. I try my best to but at times when God pushes me to show compassion towards the man asking for change or at least smile at people walking by, I tend not to do so. BUT when I do, I get this feeling I cannot describe. You feel joy, peace, uhm pftt words cannot even describe how you feel but for some reason we just don’t spread love and tend to live our lives minding nobody and living comfortably; living day by day doing the same thing when you can go out live your lives but yet share things God blessed you with or go out of your way and have a nice conversation with somebody, and trust me even little things like that makes you wonder wow why is this dude so caring or why is he/she showing me compassion..Us humans do so many things and we aren’t aware of our actions when a little drop goes a long way. Just a random thought, its a tad long, but I pray to God to show me how to love others with a selfless heart, because He is the one who showed us an everlasting, unconditional, self-sacrificing, never ending love.

To the billions of people who are mad at God
Cuz most churches haven’t done their job and hurt you badly
Yes, it’s a tragedy, you’re lookin’ at a casualty
I judged instead of loved, you have every right to be mad at me.
But please forgive us as we try to fix this
But this time not because of selfish ambition
This time because of Jesus who lives within us
See we are not religious, we’re just redeemed sinners
And He offers peace in the midst of affliction
And He is deliverance from the deepest addiction
Though He may be hidden from your plain sight vision
Just look beneath the surface and you cannot miss Him.
As far as all our problems go, I know I can’t fix ‘em just by singing a song
So much has gone wrong.
Though change don’t come easy, together, we can be strong.
I was hopin’ we could all start by singing along.

I wonder if old people are happy. Like really, genuinely happy. With the way their lives turned out. With the way they act, the way they feel. The person that they are versus who they thought they’d be. I wonder if Abraham was happy being 175 years old, or if I would ever really want to…
