| So my mom's friend, whose semi old, got hurt at her house and injured her face. She fell down in the bathroom. My mom decided to take my sister and I to go see her. Right away i didn't want to. I felt that i wasn't need there, especially since my mom was planning on staying for around 2 hours. I just kinda arguing with my mom wether i should go or not. I knew my mom's friend very well. We went to her house to swim one time and she was real nice and her husband too. Now when their in need, i didn't want to go. Suddenly, God gave me this verse. "Love your neighbor as you would love yourself." I felt kinda bad but i still didn't want to go. (I'm a very stubborn person on the inside.) So I decided to read the bible, hoping for it to shed some thought. I was reading my daily proverbs when i came upon chap 21, verse 3. "To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord then sacrifice." After the Lord gave me the first verse, I decided to go. But just to be sure, (might be part of OCD) i wanted to double check. But during that process, i was saying..."I'll go, what a big sacrifice to my whole day." (it takes awhile to get to her house.) So that's when i came upon provb. 21:3,
The Lord said..."You're very selfish. You decided to go yet you're still moaing about how it's a sacrifice. This thing your doing is right and just. It is not a sacrifice. You can't even devote a whole day for your good neighbor, how much more can u devote to someone you can't even see?"
Sometimes we don't realize how much we give God until its too late and he has to tell us directly we're not giving him enough time. God should be the first thing in our lives, but what we tend to do, or atlesat i do, is make up an excuse and try to justify me replacing God with, for example, the compute, friends, etc. I know everyone's heard this a lot but i think its very important and deserves to be said over and over bcuz for some reason, not a lot of ppl can get it right. We have give God our uttmost attention. We have to listen to him, and not justify our reason for not. It human nature to do that, to make up a reason thats semi right. "Let your yes's be yes's and let ur no's be no's." matthew something. xD. Same here, theres only one definite answer, no semi right or semi wrong. Right or wrong. We have to see the whole picture. We still have probably ( If Jesus doesn't come yt) 60 good years left in us to CS, Farcry (curtesy of harry zhang) and hang out. Jesus ended his life for us at 30 ( or 33). He could've kept going. But he put us first, and now its our turn. We dun't have to be tortured with spiked whip that tear off our flesh. We don't have to be mocked and take it all in. We just need to give God our time. Thats it.
