| Sometimes things shouldnt be rememberd...
When i was about 13, i worked at another horse farm with my sister Kim. She would teach the lessons while i would get the horses and people ready for the lessons and send them down to the riding ring. There were these two girls who would come and ride, their names where Dahlia (im not sure if i spelled it right and im sorry if i didnt) and Machelle(same). Some things they did when riding and getting ready made me angry, things they would do to Kim as well, and things that would tick me off so bad, having to do with other people. After many incedents and frustrations, finally they both (seperately, at different times) stopped taking lessons. Some how i had their aim names, and names on an online computer game all of us girls would play. So one time they were online and i began talking to them, it didnt take long for us to get into an arguement, i dont even know how it started. But i remember there was one horse that we were fighting about in particular, and i know it was a foolish arguement, completely without Christs approval.
We continued this argueing for a long time, untill we had to get off, then it became an "ill talk about this with you later!" Every time one of them would get on we would argue. Later i made up another aim name and pretended to be Kim (who had no idea what i was doing and had nothing to do with it at all) saying the same things and worse. i dont remember all the things that were said, or what the arguement was about, but later i learned that Dahlia was not a christian and was Jewish. In the way i acted, i ruined her image of a christian, because in my info i claimed to be christian. Nothing about how i acted to them was Christ like. All i did was say what i thought about them and wanted to prove to them i was right in my thinking. Christ never did that, He said that if He judged, He judged with Gods help. i cannot say i've ever judged with Gods help, and i know i didnt then. God sees the heart, and we are all sinful. "For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God."
Instead of doing what i did, do what Christ did. Pray for your enemies, and love those who hurt you. Maybie they will accept Christ, and not be your enemy anymore. Because we are all equal in that we have sinned, may none of us ever wish hell on anyone. May we love them like Christ. |
