I woke up to peace, joy, and sunshine this morning. God is so good. I've been realizing lately that, without God, nothing will last and that include friendships. The solid base of all things is God. I realized that I can't built the right relationships with people if I don't learn Christ's way of loving them. (James-3-4. Ephesians 4:1-3. Galations 5: 13) I realized that even if I do build the relationship, it will eventually crumble and fall. The kind of love Jesus taught is sacrificial love and no one is a better example than he. Jesus truly loved people when he had no reason to. He loved Peter even though he denied him three times. He loved Judus even though he knew he would betray him. Jesus's way of loving means we love when there are no reasons to. Jesus's way of loving means we love even when we might not receive it back. Jesus's way of loving means forgiving each other even when you know that you have not been forgiven. I've been struggling with this lately and I finally understand that I need to apply God's word to every aspect of my life. There is no rock like our God. You are my precious cornerstone I stand on you alone, there is no rock like our God.
Ephesian 4:2-6 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit - just as you were called to one hope when you were called - One Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
