16-04-10 (Friday) "Different Capacities"

I just wanted to share this. 1 John 4:12 reads "No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us." Refer back to verse 8 - "Whoever does not love does not know God, because GOD IS LOVE."

The Life Application Study Bible adds something that struck me. "John isn't telling us how many people to love, but how much to love the people we already know. Our job is to love faithfully the people God has given us to love, whether there are two or two hundred of them."

OCF Cookout 2010! Massive eating and fellowshipping!!
I like the truth in that. If everyone were an extrovert, then everyone would split their attention among so many other people. Whereas because of our differences, introverts show individualized love to the blessed few. I'm glad God made us all different and I believe we all should celebrate our differences. You needn't be super-friendly and super-outgoing to be effective for God. In fact, there are definitely a few who can't help but give thanks for your coming into their lives! God gave us all different capabilities and doesn't expect more than we can offer. So... Just do what you can! :)

I make a mean Mongolian Lamb dish. BAAAA-AAAAAHHH!!!! Nola, actually cheat one. Use those packet sauce.

Hmmm... Yeah, that was probably a mistake.
