oh, such a premadonna.

just a relaxing sunday night. studying. not working in the am.
trying to drink in the cool night breeze and the quiet of the world as the sun sets, the moon rises and life goes on.

some days are easier than others. sometimes we are surrounded with constant support and encouragement. some days we feel like the world is against us. some days it feels like our life is harder than everyone elses. some days all we want to do is reach out to a friend and make their day a little easier.

some days are a little easier than others.
but all the same. each and every day we are called to be an example of Christ. no matter how frustrated, how mad, how annoyed. every day we are called to throw off the sin that so easily entangles (and it definitely easily entangles). we are asked to turn the other cheek. to love our enemies and our neighbors and our friends. not some days. everyday.

are we living lives that are making it a little easier for the people around us to love us. to confront us when they need to. to be themselves, to be honest and real. are we making it easier for people to love us?

some days (most days) we as humans can be real ugly people. our hearts have turned sour and the contents of our hearts soon come spilling forth. through our mouths, our actions, our reactions, our faces and our ears. instead of remembering to be slow to anger, quick to forgiveness and abounding in love we pour out anger and bitterness and lash people with the things we say.

instead of remembering all the things others owe us, we should be finding ways to make those human spirits feel at ease around us. remind them we are all human. we all have days we need to be forgiven for and words we wish we could take back.

i am learning and challenging myself to forgive quickly. to confront before hearts turn sour. and i ask that i may receive the same. some days are easier than others. but all days need love.
