John 13:16

Wow... So it has been a really long time since I sat here updating this blog. I've been sidetracked and life has been hectic lately. That's no excuse though.. For those of you who keep up with this blog, I am very sorry. 

What I want to share today comes from John 13:16 which says, Very truly I tell you no servant is greater than their master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 

When I heard this verse it really got me to thinking. So often we try to act as though we are higher than one another. In Gods eyes we are all the same. We are equal. None of us is greater than the one who sent us, the one who gave us the very breath we are breathing right now. 

Its easy to get caught up in this world. Its easy for us to act as though were better than one another. Take racism as an example, one race believes they are better than the other. Is that true? No! God made us all equal and he tells us to love one another just as He has loved us. 

That's something the world is lacking. Instead of love they hate. Did God have that hate when he sent his son to die on the cross for us? No, He had love.. He is love. I believe that if the world would take a step back and truly understand that we are equal and decide to love instead of fight, we would all be better off. 

I walk through the halls at my school everyday, and I see the love and family feeling between some students, then again I see the hate and outcast by others. I'm guilty of this. I have been the outcast that feels she doesn't belong, but, even though its wrong, I have also been the one who was not very accepting. I guess we are all guilty of this though. No matter how much we feel like an outcast, we have also been the one making someone else feel the same way. 

So very truly I tell you no servant is greater than their master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. God is our master, God is the one who sent us. Share a smile today, share love, don't share hatred and bitterness. Show that kid that feels like they don't belong that we are equal and that God is waiting to make them feel like they belong. Be that strength that someone is searching for. 

God bless <3

P.S. Once again I am very sorry for not updating. There is no excuse. I just got caught up in the schemes of this world.
