I was meditating on cloning christ's character today. I discovered that our good character that does not extend to those who aren't on the same page with us isn't Christ's. We preach Christ and encourage them to be of good character...yet we love those that loves us more than those who looks like they don't. We pay back each one with his/her own coins, we are so sensitive to the imperfections of others and punish them for not obeying our laws...yet we are good people of good character...but not as Christ's...
The love of God shines the sun on both the good and the evil, gives his benevolence to everyone alike and it seems Christians are the ones who find this nature too hard to accept, we are too consequential in our mentality, an eye for an eye is what our hearts long for because we fail to see that our righteousness isn't our making, we fail to see that if God were to mark iniquity none will stand, we fail to see the place of grace and mercy and it has now become too hard for us to love like Christ and we wonder why we won't tolerate each other even in marriage. If we love those who please us only what good have we done, evwn those who do wickedly love each other...true love isn't an impossibility. ..if we really understand the love with which we have been drawn...
