Day 9 - The Power of Jesus' Command

So I figured that this situation could probably be seen in our everyday lives.

Remember when:

1)You didn't want to participate in a game. And your friends went " HEY GERALD! Can you stop being a wuss and come play the game? It'll be fun ok? We promise!" "And stop pouting and sulking, you look like a girl"
And you reluctantly played along, and realised that it wasn't half bad, and before you know it, you are L-O-V-I-N-G IT.


2)You didnt want to eat that dish your mom cooked. Cause it looks strange, and yellow, and before this you never saw a cauliflower in your life, and it looked kinda like a vegetable.
And mom said that if you didnt shove it down your throat she'd spank you so hard, your lips go blue.
So you swallow it down with a huge gulp of water and decide it dont taste so bad really. So you chomp some down, and before u know it you're polishing off the plate.


Just a couple of situations. There are so much more other things we can relate to. That sometimes when we act, the feelings come after.
Sometimes we are to called to do things involuntarily, things we don't want to do, don't like to do. but with time spent,we develop feelings for it.

And so with Jesus's command, that we act in love, although we do not love willingly. And seems hypocritical. But hey if everyday did just as they pleased, nothing in this world would ever be done. And we hear the saying, if everyday pursued their dream job, probably half the world is retired and whats left of the work force would probably be in disarray.

But we can develop acceptance and tolerance, and then endearment. So go ahead and step out of your comfort zone, step out of that hole you dug yourself into.
Like mom used to say "You dont try, you dont know."
