I finally found someone to vote for!
We are flawed. Every single one of us.
No matter our intentions, we are bound to let someone down. We are destined as humans to make mistakes big and small.
This is not saying we get a free pass for what we do. We must learn and grow from these mistakes in order to become better and achieve new and greater results.
It is impossible to shield ourselves from people who will make mistakes or will let us down. We need those people in our lives. They test our resolve, they teach us to forgive. They teach us to understand outside our own realm of reasoning. Yes, what they do is hurtful, but they teach us the power of forgiveness.
Jesus surrounded himself with people that society never wanted in “their circle”. They were cast out because they offended or broke the rules. Jesus felt that it was more important to be a relative example to those people than to feel he that was better then them and therefore cast them out like they had been so many times before. Jesus was the only one without sin. He could have cast the first stone but he didn’t. He created change in the lives of others because he was able to bring out the good in people. His undying forgiveness was the true example.
There are people out there that sit in their walled fortress passing judgement and only allowed people of like minds to share their company. These people claim to share like minds with Jesus and claim to do his will. Caesar only surrounded himself with people that soley agreed with him. Look where that got him.
Are you Jesus or are you Caesar?
If I had legs that would reach into Canada, I’d kick this guy in the balls.
“Another Day” - Jamie Lidell
From the opening of the song to the end, you can’t help but not be in a good mood when you hear it. The sounds remind you of something from the 70’s, but it’s a new song. Enjoy
