unfortunately i'm back to the same ole same ole here at elon. of course i just got here a few hours ago but i'm already ready for spring break again!!
today has been a bit crazy... let's start off with saying that caps winning the championship game in durham today!! they all got trophies and a huge trophy for the team! the game was pretty intense because the refs sucked (what else is new??)
but something that has been on my mind today is how to love someone when everything in you is trying to get you to dislike, or even hate, them. i am reminded of a passage from luke and i want you to read it then think about it for a minute...
27 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29 If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. 30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. 31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.
Luke 6:27-31
those words are so strong. think about it, our culture tells us to get revenge and make things fair. but in reality, christ is telling us to do the exact opposite! he's calling us to let things be unfair, love those who hate you and not to seek revenge. that's crazy!! i know that none of yall are bad people but everyone wants to be treated with respect and if they are not, we all want to do something about it.
so try to live out Luke 6: 27-31 this week. i double dog dare you. (now you have to do it)
