Fickle Lovers
November 2nd, 2009 by admin received No Comments »
I was driving down I-40 and noticed a sticker on a guy’s car that said “One Love”…and thats when it started..
I was on my way home and the whole way there thought of that..one love. What really is “one love”? I mean, I love chocolate, I love ice cream, I love my wife (she’s hot), I love music…..but what is one love? I know some of those things probably don’t matter that I mentioned but my wife matters…I love my friends….
Then I thought of Jesus. Here is a great example of one love to me. Not just for a certain few people but for ALL people. Jesus surrendered to God and did what he wanted him to do. One Love to God = no discrimination to all, acceptance of all, a helping of all, a hurting for all, a rejoicing with all. But we tend to have a love that = “they look cool to hang out with”, “someone else will help them”, “I have enough to worry about”, “but their smelly”. Thats not one love. One love, I believe, is brought about by understanding who God really is. God is the one who gave his one and only son, Jesus, up to be a living sacrifice for me and you. We have become fickle lovers of people and full-time lovers of our own comfort and self. Are you really willing to give up your comfort to love another? What about that money you were saving up but saw a guy on the side of the road who had nothing and decided to pass him up for what you were getting for yourself (that was me this day). How do we tear down the walls? How do we establish this “One Love”? Well.. I don’t know fully yet…..
But being like Christ is a start….
