In the past few weeks, Pastor DeWayne has preached about community... what it is about... and how to become one... It all comes down to this: LOVE... love for God... love for others...
As Christians, we feel that we have certain privileges that others do not have... for example, there are Christians who feel that they have the "right" to judge those who are in sin... to point fingers at others for their wrongdoings... yet, we don't have that "right"... we are called to love others as Christ has loved us... to lay down ourselves for the sake of others... this comes so much easier when the "others" are people who love us and share their love with us... we are more inclined to reciprocate their love for us.... however, when it comes to people who are "unlovable" in our eyes, we hesitate and have less of a desire to love them... which is why, we can't do this on our own...
I think we are fortunate to have such an awesome group of students in RY because they make it easy for us to love them... I think I've taken that for granted... and have only done the "minimum" to show that I care about them... I've heard it said once before that love = time... Therefore, I want to commit more time to share Christ's love with them... through more personal contact... and definitely through more time praying for them individually...
