Love – Page 14 – Carried in the cross

Lent devotional 17

There will always be people who want to stomp on your light and squash it out. But remember that -like a glow stick- when stepped on, part of your light will stick to them as they walk away. Even when they hurt you, because your light scares their darkness, God can use that moment to stick a bit of Himself to them so that eventually they find Him and their darkness fades with His glory. Don’t be afraid of the negative moments that you have with people, because if you show yourself a true believer and respond by turning the other cheek it will scare the negative people off, because they don’t know how to deal with that. And you never know what God has done through you in that moment.

Lent devotional 16

Never forget the imortance of oranges. They are sweet and full of vitamins. You can use every part except the stem in food, they are a bright pop of color annnnnnd, they didn’t need to exist. The world and every animal or insect that eats oranges would have been fine eating a different fruit, in fact, the world only requires 1 fruit that has the same nutrients as oranges or grapefruit or any of the other fruit in that catagory. That’s why they are so important, because the world doesn’t need them, God simply chose to make them. It pleased Him to create them because He knew we would enjoy eating them. God cares about the little things that make us smile. He takes of the big stuff too, but He also likes to give good gifts to His children, sweet things that are unnecessary, like oranges.
