Love each other-for real
So I’m going to rant before I get to my point. Deal with it. Today I backed into a narrow (like i barely fit in between the lines) parking spot at church. When I went to leave there were cars on either side of me and some both kiddie corners in front of me. I had to wait for one car-the car kiddie corner on my right to leave. I then spent 7 minutes backing up and pulling forward. Now that I could’ve dealt with-it’s just annoying. But then people started coming to the window and laughing at me and giving me that “wow you suck at driving” look. Well I got really flustered because you see. I drive a quad cab truck with a hemi engine, an eight foot extended bed, with a trailer hitch on the back. You guys can try to park the freaking thing and get out when you’re surrounded. It’s freaking hard and these people did not make it any easier. Now that I’m done ranting, I actually had a point.
This is something I do too so don’t think I’m being a hypocrite. I understand. How often do we make fun of people or laugh at people who can’t do something we think would be relatively easy? I mean I think it would be easy to do a lot of things that people do-such as get rid of an addiction, take normal classes in school, or even just avoiding habits others can’t control. They seem like simple things to me, but I’m not the person who is doing these things and I don’t fully understand them. I mean sure it’s easy to stop an addiction to drinking in thought but what do I know? I’ve never had an addiction. So whenever you laugh at someone or think they are stupid or terrible at a certain thing, remember, you can never fully understand what they’re going through.
Also my other point-which is kinda similar- stop looking down on people (and I don’t mean literally) Stop thinking you are better at things then other people, that you’re more mature, stronger, smarter, or whatever. Remember that you have your flaws too and you should humble yourself. Know that you can’t possibly understand what the other person is up against. When you think you are better at something, thank God for that ability, however take that time to find something that you fail at or lack in. It’s a good habit to get into. Humble yourself before the only perfect one, (By the way-that’s God)
So the point of this.
We’re all equal.
We have our good qualities
and our flaws.
Stop judging.
Love each other-for real.
In Christ,
Jenna
