I have been doing a reading through of Franic Chan's book entitled "Crazy Love" for some time now. The Lord smacks me across the face everytime I pick it up to read. The beginning talks about how BIG God is and how little we are, how we a little part of His whole creation, but He still chooses to persue a relationship with us. That to me blows my mind. The second part shows us and basically called me out on being a lukewarm christian. I feel that it was a harsh reality check for me. In the third chapter of Revelation, Christ states that if we are lukewarm He will spit us out of His mouth. Scary right?
Alright let me get to the point, i was reading today about the obsessed people who love God. One quote that stood out to me was "Obessed People love those who hate them and who can never love them back." I had an experience this past year with loving someone. It was my roomate second semester. He didnt believe in God and He told me that He would not pick on my beliefs, but towards the end of the semester it got worse. He ended up telling me that I was reading a book of fairy tales one night. That really boiled me but I decided to keep it cool. I tried talking with Him but it didnt work. Luckily my friends came down and I left the room. I can't stand it when people diss my beliefs. Christ reminded me of something tonight, I need to show Godly love to people that need it. Sometimes it may be the only love of God that they ever get. I was reminded of that because I lived in the International dorm this past year. The book stated that true faith is loving a person after they have hurt you or brought you down. My human response to this is why must I love this person after what they did to me? but then the question is do I pray and love them as Christ loves me?
