What up! How many of you have got this fine day off? SWEEET! The weather is b...e....a...utiful too! Ripe for grillin' son! That's an idea, might have to pull some peeps together and fire up that bad boy, uh huh! I hope you all are enjoying your day off! tru dat. aight... on to, da Word!
checkit:
Finally, brothers, good-by. Aim for perfection, listen to my appeal, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.
- Paul (2 Corinthians 13:11)
Oh.... OH! That's my dawg PAUL! Yeah! New Testament badmamajamma himself! This verse right here comes near the end of his letter to the Corinthians. It's uplifting! It's purposeful! And it is inspiring. It's like a pep talk, revvin' peeps up, gettin' 'em stoked and excited for the journey ahead. If you get a chance, peep the end of Paul's various letters to the churches that are written in the Bible. He almost ALWAYS ends with some kind of pep, some kind of grace giving, some uplifting tone. It's great! Especially because he probably dealt with a TON of heavy stuff in the meet of the letter. But ya see, he ends by lifting others up.
So what's he say? "Yo yo! Potnas! Aim for PERFECTION!!!!" That's hot son. Who doesn't want to aim for perfection? Notice he doesn't say be perfect, that would be near impossible. Instead he says aim for it. And you know what's awesome about that? We all can aim ;-D And thus step by step, we can get closer to perfection. Then he says, "yo bruthaz and sistaz, feel me on this, be of one mind and live in peace." That's mad tight too. Who wants disorder, chaos and destruction? That ain't no fun. It ain't la vida straight chillin' fa sho'. But if we can be of one mind, and living in peace, then yo' we will have such a blast interacting with one another that life will be explosive and fulfilling! But the last sentence says it all. "cuz potnas, if we can aim to do these things, Pops above HIMSELF, da God of LOVE and PEACE, da illest being out there.... will be with us...will be with you."
Word! I'll gladly accept a little o' that. Pops above rollin' with me? Chillin' with me? I'm all about it! So potnas, let's aim for perfection, let's be of one mind, and let's live in peace. And, "may the grace of da Lord Jesus da Christ, and da love of Pops Above, and da fellowship of da Holy Spirit be with you all" [2 Cor. 13:14].
