Live in Grace, Walk in Love

Next time you feel torn between two sides in a debate, remember God’s love isn’t as complicated as we make it—nor does it have the divisions we want to enforce.

If you find yourself consumed with how you look in the eyes of other people, remember this: Jesus could care less. He wouldn’t have used mud to heal people if He cared what we looked like.

God didn’t give you influence so you’d lead people better. He gave it to you so you’d love people more.

Our part of the deal is as easy as this: keep letting go of whatever is distracting us from Him.

Next time someone pushes your buttons, send them a cake pop instead of an angry message. They’ve probably got enough critics out there, and like most of us, they could probably use a little more love than lecture. Let love be louder than your opinions. What

Don’t let the path of other people’s lives make you second-guess your own. There are millions of people, from all walks of life, who God wants to meet with His message of love. If you take Jesus to the people around you, and I take His love to the ones around me, we’ll cover a lot more ground.

Jesus didn’t have to take sides. We don’t either. He loved people on every side, and we can too. He didn’t see issues; He saw people.

loving people the way Jesus did is great theology.

Great leaders don’t have time to think about themselves because they’re too busy scheming ways to love other people and lift them up. Who can you do this for today? Blow their minds. Give them your office, maybe even your car. It’ll sound crazy right up until you do it.
