Stream of Consciousness

Almost every time I read Paul's letters, whether to the Corinthians, Thessalonians, or Philippians, I am so moved. I learn so much from him and he's one of my favorite people from the bible. I love the fact that he was a man who was overtaken by the grace of God, and completely turned his life around. From a blasphemer to an apostle. He strived to live his life like Jesus. The way he speaks wisdom and inspiration is incredible and because of his scriptures I can understand God's love so much clearer. (Phillipians 2:1-11) HUMILITY is a problem in today's society. It's easy to be 'right' and unwilling to accept change. The truth is, no one but God knows best. And even He was humble enough to give up His Son. The saddest part is He did it to save us, yet we choose to forget that. We live our lives in a way that contradicts Jesus's life. Why? He was completely PERFECT. We should be striving to be JUST like Him. And if the most powerful being in all the universe is humble enough to be a human, a servant, and DIE, shouldn't we be humble enough to let God be exalted the way he deserves? Imagine if everyone on earth strived to be like Jesus. Our world would be the most loving, compassionate, generous place to be. It wouldn't be perfect, but what if everyone tried? No greed, violence, or anger. We would all learn forgiveness and let go of things that aren't worth fretting over. How is it that people see Christianity as a bad thing. That we "judge" and want to ruin people's fun? NO. That's completely opposite of what Jesus stood for..and it's sad that somewhere along the way the world was taught that. Because Jesus is our only form of Peace.
