Thoughts on John the Evangelist

I thought this reading was nice... Short, but nice lol. I liked the part when it says "God is love." I believe God is love too... cuz when you have love in your heart, it's probably the best feeling in the world. When people walk around with hatred, hating on others, arguing, gossiping, making fights, etc., it does them no good. It causes a lot of stress and depression and just a lot of crap they dont have to worry about.

I know it's hard to forgive those who do you wrong, or who make you mad, or say something bad about you, but when you find it in your heart to forgive them, it makes you feel better, like a stronger person, and then you just forget about whatever made u feel bad. It's hard at first, because you just want to get revenge. But when you think about it, that's having hate in your heart, and its causing you to stress over how to "get them back". lol. If you just think to yourself, "they didn't really mean that" or "they're having a bad day and took it out on me by mistake" or even those who intentionally try to hurt you, just know that they know not what they do... i dont know if that makes much sense to some... basically saying that, if someone does something to hurt you, yea they know its hurting you, but they might not know how much it is hurting you, otherwise, they might not even do it. that's just an example, ...it still might not make much sense, but i understand it in my own way.

  1. I completely agree. What would the world be like if we all tried to see through the eyes of the people that we don't like. If God is love and we want to be like God we should try to love like God loves. If we see people for who thy could be and not who they are at the moment they do something to you then we would be able to influence people to change. Which in turn will influence change for the better in the world. We can change the world.
