As the bride of Christ, we also have a really hard time loving the unlovable. The way I look at it no person is any higher on God's list. A preacher is no higher than a prostitute. We are ALL sinners, coming short of the salvation God offers to us. None of us are worthy, not a single one of us. But most of the time we go around acting like we are so much better than everyone else. Its just not right. Instead of looking down on others, we should be lifing them up, encouraging them with the love of Christ. I think alot of times Christians forget that Jesus hung out with lowly ones. He was around prostitutes and tax collectors and before too long they were changed by the very presence of Him. Thats the way it should be with Christians. We should show so much love and joy that an unsaved person wants to know the Jesus that we know.
We are called to love EVERYONE. The saved, unsaved, sinners, homeless, handicapped; we are called to love people all around the world.
Today, Christians do want to help out. But there is a major problem. We have huge conferences, prayer rallies, cookouts wanting people to come to us to be LOVED on. We expect them to come, seeking God and the love of His people. Sometimes this works. But I feel like my mission in life is to go to them. To take the word of God to those who cannot afford to come to it. I want to love those who feel too ashamed or embarrassed to set foot into a church or conference.
Let's do it. Let's love on others and make a difference.
why not change the world?
why not take care of those who cannot take care of themselves?
why not take the word of God from coast to coast?
why not feed the hungry, physically and spiritually?
WHY NOT?
