I have seen this picture a couple of times over the last few days, but today is stirred renewed emotion in me when I thought about the men holding hands protecting those that they don't know and don't agree with - literally risking life and limb.
If the caption is true, and these men are Christians, they are showing the truest form of John 13:34-35 when Jesus says: "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."
I have to wonder if, in the same circumstance, I would do the same. And more importantly, am I living that out in my own suburban world every day? What does that even look like in my world?
I would love to hear your thoughts on this. Sound off...
My life verse is John 3:30. "He must increase; I must decrease." (Thus the blog title) Living this, however, is easier said than done.
When people describe me the two words that come up most frequently are "intense" and "passionate". I have learned over the years to embrace those words as part of who God made me to be, the good and bad of them. I am constantly working to bring the good to the front and be aware of the bad turns those particular characteristics can take. Always a work in progress!
I intensely love the Lord and and my family and I put all of me in to what ever I do. I am passionate about my work and about the privileged of being called a worshiper of God Almighty.
Some of the more trivial facts about me:
Addicted to - Survivor, The Voice & Plexus. Favorite shows watch - pretty much anything that is guaranteed to be cancelled after the first season. I am a mac girl through and through (love my iphone.)
