28 May 2014; Mat 6
Jesus came and illustrated the way of living a disciple should live. It is based on love. It is not based on retaliation. Jesus knew that if more is return to what is done wrong to you - the case gets spiral.
With love, the wrong done is stop. Jesus illustrated in Mat 5:38-43. Gave up your institutional rights. Why? Because God first love us through Christ who died for us. Jesus has the right to call us to gave up our rights of retaliation, because Jesus died for us.
Everyone who love is born of God.
Why then I am compel to love? is it because I have compassion, or because I know I cannot fight back or because I love peace. It will end up with hurt and hatred in me and get myself trap with grudges and inside anger.
The world has seemed in a lot of way unfair to me. But wait, son, what is fair? Getting the more the best?
Am I then secure in my self worth in Christ - one who knows that he has enough and sufficient in Jesus. If I only know how Christ has done for me. How then I view my identity and know that all that I need and be recognize is not on how much I have, what I can do and what my status. Know and I have all in Christ who love me just I am - no matter how much or empty I am.
Lord, let me know my sufficiency in you. I strive not because I need more because you also do not need the more. Lord let me know that my self worth is not in the much I have, but in the much I have in you.
