Hey, so I was driving to work today and thinking and praying about some things that happened in the past few years. The thing is this... Share your heart and even if you're loved for it - you're most likely also gonna get hated for it too. Wanna know the simple reason why? Because we live in a corrupted, broken world and just about everyone around us is in some type of pain. People so often think, speak and act from that pain and if you present something like happiness, peace, confidence and identity to them - well, it's likely those in pain will try to get you to join them in their pain rather than them join you in your happiness. So is the answer not to share your heart and become guarded with high, towering stony walls? I don't believe so. I believe this world needs an answer to its pain and the only one true answer is JESUS. So when you get hated for sharing your heart - don't let that hatred in to poison you, change you and stop you - instead remind yourself that God's love for you is so, so much greater than any cheap shots that hatred makes. Nothing compares to God's love for you. Nothing at all. Have a great day guys :D
