The reason this blog was started yesterday was because of a situation that arose that I felt really terrible about. The repercussions of that took place today.
Knowing that, it made it both easier and harder to love on people. Harder, personally, because when you have tears in your eyes, people try to take care of you. Easier because it gave me something to focus on besides "holy crap i'm going to get fired."
I'm not fired. Praises to God.
However, this 365 days of Agape is definitely going to be helpful in my moving forward at work.
It also made me think about applying agape to myself and the question "can i agape on other people if i dont agape myself?" i'm sure there will be more on that in the future.
Because the real point that I have to admit is that I have been operating under the Sunday School definition of agape, and that ain't right. I need to know the Greek, application, hermeneutic - all the responsible, biblical stuff so I'm not just throwing words around. So, over the course of my Church retreat, I intend to ask some questions. Questions that lead to books which leads to answers which lead to knowledge, which leads to application.
I do like getting my agape on. That I have to report back to you. That it's making me a better person. Today, to agape, I tried to just listen, to actively and actually listen and honestly respond.
I'm gonna do that again tomorrow.
Peace and love.
