What if...
What if...when we are offended or hurt by the behavior of someone else we confront that person about the behavior? What if we didn't base our opinions of a person, their family, their religion, their sex, their race, their community, their city, their state, their country, their whatever based on a behavior? What if instead of hating people we talked to people about the behavior we disliked and came to a resolution, a compromise, or an agreement to simply agree to disagree? What if instead of judging others we looked at ourselves and realized not everyone has to think like we do or act like we do to be a good person? What if we realized that we all have faults and sins? What if we loved for our differences the same way we love for our similarities? What if...
John 13:34 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."
Matthew 7:1-5 7 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye."
Philippians 2:3-5 "3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others."
