When Love is a Characteristic

I hate it when people make fun of others when they fall,  it hurts me especially if it’s in a way directly connected to me,  most especially if I was trying to get over what just happened like my favorite team lost, or my friend fumbled or….  Just find any example of things that’d hurt you.

But then I realised I do it too,  use other people’s weakness to get at them,  poke fun at them(seems to be my hobby), and it’s fun doing so……  But my Bible says love your neighbour as you love yourself….  Self interpreted to be ‘do unto others what you want to be done to you’ so why then am I hurt and touchy when it’s done to me but don’t expect others to be hurt when I do mine. Isn’t that a fleshy nature.

I am learning from this and I want you to do too….  If you ain’t comfortable when it’s done to you, you have two options,  grow a thick skin or more flesh to accommodate it when done to you OR stop doing it….  If you can’t tolerate it and finding it hard to stop. Look up to God and let him guide you.

You and I want a good world? You and I have to work towards it.

 CONFESSION : I love you just as myself so I would do to you what I would let happen to me…

Frieda and Toke kept glancing back at him. I blushed and flushed. What on earth?

“Guys! Stop staring at him! He’d suspect we’re talking about him” I muttered under my breath.

“Biko! How long do you want to suffer in silence?” Frieda shouted in her usual extroverted demeanor. Continue reading
