What would happen??

What would happen if we all just LOVED one another? What would happen if we were not all so defensive and had to come back with a quick remark when someone said something offensive to us? What would the world look like if we took a second to realize that everyone is going through something and we all sin, so who are we to say one sin is weighed heavier than another? What would happen if we quit putting ourselves above others?

I don't know about you, but I am very stubborn, I like to be right, and I will argue my point until you agree with me. WHY do we do this? Why is it so hard to walk away and be content with someone not seeing our view, or not agreeing with us? Why is it so hard to ALLOW others to be who they are and think the way they do? Why is it so hard to ACCEPT them and love them no matter what they think or do?

I have no answers here. I am just thinking out loud. I know what I am supossed to do, but why, in those moments, is it so hard to just not banter back and just be loving towards people the way Jesus intended for us to. Why is it so hard to be that person?

Sometimes you need little reminders :)

Life is like a puzzle, you have to try out different pieces to find the ones that fit. Sometimes, I get frustrated with the pieces. I seem to always be given the wrong shape of pieces and nothing fits. Maybe my piece is not done figuring out its shape and so I am not ready to find the one that fits. I do know what I am looking for, but sometimes I feel like I am an not the person who deserves that, because I am not who I want to be. I know there is a great plan for me and I intend to wait for what God has in store for me.
