In some respects they are right.
So full of energy you are able to make friends easily. You bring life and colour to an otherwise boring conversation. People see you as a confident, unselfish, caring person.
You are able to pull people in with your charisma, to make them feel special and loved. A gift many dream of having. Your peers respect you. They value your opinions and advice you have to offer.
They hear you speak of God of how amazing he is and they see the JOY that is seen in your life as you talk and socialize with them.........
Don't abuse your gifts.
"He who is given much, much will also be demanded"
But they don't see what I see.
Sometimes I see .....things that are not so good
Instead of a person full of confidence
I see a cunning actor wearing a caring mask
Instead of one full of insight i see
a spoiled kid to sheltered from the real world to be able to empathize with the lost
At times you can be very selfish
At times brutally ....cold hearted
At times very... immature
At times clueless on how to handle your relationships
but who I'm I to judge?
we all have our dark moments. our flaws...
Yet I am finding it hard to put up with you.
I sorta wanna just be angry because really you are not being fair
You are being very stupid....grow up.
Be real
Love is NOT an easy thing to do....
Many times we get distorted images of what love is.
Love is not a "feeling"
it doesn't just happen
it takes time to develop
Love is (or part of it is) caring for someone unconditionally.
not easy to do
Love is best portrayed in Christ
HE loved and he tells us tells ME to love
so I am learning to love
not only you
but everyone else in my life
big and small
Today I was reminded again how much love is needed in this world.
I was reminded that there are so many people out there who need love.
People who are hurting, in pain but hiding.
and I am reminded that God loves all of these people.
it blows me away.....
SO even though I feel like everything but showing love
I can love because God loves his love lover overflows into my life.
This is proof that God exists.
I am learning to love.......
1 Corinthians 13
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
