"If you judge people, you have no time to love them." Mother Teresa
maybe i don't look at somethings right or like i should, but that statement really hit me today. last night i went to starbucks to meet a friend and hang out, like we do just about every week. on my way home i went past a protest by some well meaning religious people, protesting a marriage amendment that was going to be debated by county commissioners. now i don't have anything against protesting if that is what god is telling you to do, but i must admit the whole thing struck me as just plain hateful!! i know that the signs they were holding were true, but what happened to commandment to love your neighbor. i'm not saying to sit back and watch sin take over your hometown or country for that matter, but what about showing the sinner the love of god instead of the wrath of god. i have always thought that since the scripture says that god is love, that the best way to win people to the lord is with love. i mean isn't that whole reason why he sent his son, was because he loves us. (john 3:16)
i don't want to piss anyone off, these are just my thoughts i'm typing here. but like i've always heard, you'll catch more flies with honey than you will with (i believe we all know what is next)
peace...
ps: An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind. Mohandas Gandhi
