Sharing Jesus with anyone and everyone...

Father, your creation declares your greatness and lovingkindness, encouraging statements of pure truth in our daily walk... I suppose if "things" went as we planned 100% of the time we'd be bored to death in this life. I know, I know, wouldn't it be nice to give that a try for a while, just to see what life would be like without heartache and pain and disappointment. But that's not in the cards, and we know this, but yet we are still visibly upset when things don't go our way. In many ways, we're like that 2-year old who immediately bursts into angry tears when someone else is playing with our toys. The Bible teaches that sharing is a core principle of the Christian faith, encompassing sharing material possessions, burdens, and especially, the gospel message of Jesus Christ. Jesus said, "But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic either. Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back. And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them." (Luke 6:27-31) I know this is the ideal, almost more Angelic than human, but this type of behavior literally changes the world, one positive interaction at a time... Thank you, Jesus, for showing us that you are the way, the truth, and the life; THE answer for those committed to seeking the truth in all things!
