Judgement Falls

Hello Travellers!

Today is Sunday. Yes, Church day for me.
Sitting in church listening, I wondered about the same question many people often wonder about. Do we ever bring Christianity outdoors or is it just something we confine within the four walls on Sunday mornings?

As generic of a question as it may sound like, I really wonder. I'm not talking about fanaticalness about this religion but just the core of doing what is written. We all know what's written in the Book of Life. If it is truly the Book of Life, how come we don't practice what we preach?

Let's just break it down to the basics. Lesson 101. Love, in my opinion is a big deal in Christianity. If it wasn't for love, we wouldn't be here talking about this. If it wasn't for Jesus dying out of love, there wouldn't be something to talk about. But what is love?
Love isn't accentuating the wrongs of others but helping them in silence. How can a person preach love and then condemn the lost ones? No, there shouldn't ever be a restatement of how bad this person was or how sinful that person is.

Yet, after rethinking all of the above, don't we make judgments everyday? It is through these judgments that we learn how to live life better. For example, if you betray a friend and lose her, you'd learn never to do that again. Or when in love you get tricked or are treated unwell. You will form a judgment that trust is something earned and shouldn't be given away so easily. Those are all judgments too. So, how do you distinguish one from the other? It is close to being impossible.

Still, we have to strive to love from the heart and not merely the lips. There are so many dying people out there. So many wounded and broken. And more that are emotionally hurt. What are we doing to them? We are only casting them away to the vultures. Isn't that selfish?

Take time to take love to its maximum. Silently. Nobody needs to know the deed or your opinion about the situation. Love is action.
So take time to take church outdoors all week. Maybe somebody will feel the love and with that, you have changed the world.

Yours Truly.
