scripture

 

Luke 12:49-53

"I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is completed! Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law."

Jesus came to comfort the disturbed and to disturb the comfortable. – unknown

 

thought

 

Authentic Christian living cannot be lived without disturbing the darkness. The offense taken by the darkness is not personal between you and them. It is beyond a simple personality conflict. The light in you scares, angers, challenges, frustrates, and confuses them. Do not think on merely physical, we are all spirit wrapped in flesh. Darkness clothes itself in your coworkers, your family, and the passer-by.
