daily food- Luke 6

I think that I'm going to try to do this more often, as a way of not only thinking on my own, but sharing my thoughts in hopes that others will do the same.

today I woke up and focused on Luke 6, a passage that can be rather odd because there's a lot going on, but also a passage that can serve as a reminder of the person we should be.

what gets me the most is where the chapter talks about loving the difficult because it is there that the challenge lies. it is sooo easy for me to love my family and friends yet obviously it is difficult for me to love those who hurt me. and though i am tempted to give them a taste of their own medicine, reading this passage today pretty much grounded me. it serves as a reminder that i must turn the other cheek and not give into the same game. the change starts with ME.

life challenges us immensely, but, how will we react to it? that says a lot about our character, more than anything really. because the way we handle little challenges says a lot about how we will handle the bigger picture.

i hope to be an example of this, i hope to make the difference instead of expecting others to do so. my prayer is that you too, will see this need, and that others will be able to live by your example. i may not be perfect in all that i do, but i do know that people can see that i am full of love for others and that my calling is to serve. i am thankful that i have the ability to do so.
