Be Liberal In Love
DAILY VITAMIN
- Be Liberal In Love
It is said that love is not blind, but rather that it sees more; but because it sees more, it chooses to see less. That alone tells the Jesus' story:
First of all, Peter was a non-chapel going person before he met Jesus, yet Jesus didn't discriminate him, rather He saw less of his religious flaws, and more of his godly potentials.
Second, Matthew was the con of society, ripping exuberant amounts from peasant all in the name of taxes, yet Christ chose him, seeing less of the con in him, and more of the son he could be.
And lastly among many others, Judas was a thief, yet Jesus wouldn't judge him even after his treachery, seeing a friend in him, even while he had played the enemy.
Jesus showed us the perfect example of a life well lived in just thirty-three earthly years; a life in which impact was not a fight, but an aura that came naturally. The life God expects us to live is that which, like Jesus', brings the farthest foe to a region where he feels safe and accepted to return back to God. Love doesn't judge how society judges. It is that single that turns the other cheek even when it's done no wrong. That was what Paul insinuated when he said he would become a barbarian or a Greek if it would get people saved from the coming wrath. It may see the flaws they hold and the hate they give, but it will rather run with the hope of life and peace it envisions. And that's what God wants of us.
In other words, let your lifestyle not be an instrument to disperse men away from God, but a means to keep them in the knowledge of His love. Though the world has, and is still doing a million and one things to keep you infuriated, yet God's saying 'see less', not because you can't see, but because you need not see to stay focused on saving them for Christ. It is never about what they have done or haven't done, but about what we know God desires of us towards them. Jesus said I have come not for the righteous (that do perfect things in the sight of God and man), but for the sinner (the guys with many a flaw).
Hence, as Jesus did, always see the good in others, no matter how small, and channel your energies into that. small virtue until they are saved again, and new persons before the sight of God. Thus, stay liberal in love!
