I was reading a Peter King articlee on shamed wide receiver Donte Stallworth and it really got me thinking. Here's a guy that about a year ago killed a guy while driving intoxicated. All other details aside, that is horrific. One would be easily justified saying "He's a bad guy." The point of the article was that Stallworth is back in the NFL and seeking to change his life around. He's been given a seconf chance of sorts and he intends to use it.
I immediately tried to internalize that concept. A murderer asking for a do over. Then I tried to make it even closer to myself.
If I claim to love Christ. If I walk through life saying Christ is my king, but have hatred, disdain or bitterness in my heart; am I doing it right? I told I need to Love. It's my belief that Jesus came to redeem everyone. Everyone is an all encompassing word. Who am I to hold judgement on anyone? Who am I to withhold forgivenes??
This is something I need to get WAY better at.
