what i read this morning is the first thing that came to mind. i read in church, colossians. the whole book of colossians. for those of you who don't know, this is a book in the bible. There are four chapters in this book. in Colossians 3:12-16 it says "therefore, God's chosen ones, holy and loved, put on heartfelt compassion, kindness , humility, gentleness, and patience, accepting one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a complaint against another. just as the Lord has forgiven you, so also you must forgive. above all put on love--the perfect bond of unity. and let the peace of the messiah, to which you were also called in one body, control your hearts. be thankful."
This is just the a reminder to all of us christians of how we are to act in every aspect of our lives. Not that we all will live perfect lives by any means, but just to strive to live a loving life. In this passage it talks about gentleness and patience, and in our world we live in, in this fast pace society, its good to be reminded that its not worth it. even just when im driving and someone cuts me off and ill yell at them or something like that, and its not like they can even here me, so really whats the point? it only puts me and everyone else in the car in a bad mood. its not worth it.
