we are learning

We are all learning. That means that we become better.
If we were perfect in the art of life we wouldn’t have to
look for ways to become better.
Jesus made it very clear. Matt.16:24-26
We cannot go on without loosing our lives.
He wasn’t referring to the physical death of his disciples.
Loosing our lives, taking up the cross, means to give up our old
ways of doing things. Often we are so educated and skilled in
our old, godless ways that we see no need for a change.
Learning means to put on the New Man. Eph.4:20-24
We don’t know how to speak the truth. We have to learn it.
We don’t know how to forgive; how to edify; how to love
unconditionally, how to honor.
We have a lot to learn.
No wonder that God calls himself a teacher. Matt.23:8
People have been married for over thirty years and all the
sudden find out that they don’t love one another.
What is God’s answer? Is divorce the only solution?
I believe God’s answer is: Learn to love one another?
You don’t love people. Well, who does?
Look at us. We aren’t really the most lovely creatures in the universe.
We don’t love people, but we can learn.
It’s the new life.
It’s the only life that is worth living.
