The Blog Continues

I am almost half way through my Facebook fast, wow. The time has seriously flown by, I thought it was going to drag on but it hasn't. I am still shocked and continue to be shocked about that fact. Today was a good Sunday. Funny story. My roommate and I actually guilt tripled each other into Church. I was tired and very tempted to skip Church last night so she says to me that I went to Church she would go, I then felt bad so I woke up this morning and got ready. I went to wake her up and she groaned, was about to roll over, then realized that I only got up cause she said she would go. So we both went to Church. I was so glad we did because it was one of the best sermons my pastor has preached. He was talking about unity in the Church and something he said really stuck out to me. Why would anyone want to follow a God who is supposed to be able to have control of their lives and forgive their sins when that Gods followers cannot even tolerate and forgive and even be nice to each other. Ouch. Double, triple, ouch. If we Chtistians can't even show God's love to each other how on earth can we even pretend to show God's love to other people? In John 17:20-23, when Jesus was in the garden before his death he prayed for us. Us being future Christians. He prayed that we would have unity, that we would be able to endure one another, pray for one another, live life together. As Christians we are supposed to be showing Gods love through how we act towards one another, if we fail there, we fail on all accounts. This is something that I know I need to work on. God loves everyone not just me, and he loves us all the same. If I truly want to be an example of Christ's love to the world, I have to start first with those closest to me.
