What's up y'all! How ya livin'! Yo, yesterday it snowed so much that the snow actually stayed on the ground! That said, it still wasn't that much snow... but still! It's the principle! My knee is doing very well by the way. The recovery process is moving along smoothly. Thanks for the prayas! Keep 'em comin ;) Aight, on to... da Word!
checkit:
The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him." Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise."
- Luke 10:37
Tru! This is from the parable of the Good Samaritan. If you haven't heard that one, peep Luke 10:25-37. That right there is a good parable. Shoot what am I sayin', ALL these parables are da bomb son! Read them bad boys, study them, and live the truth they teach. Speakin' of truth... peep what my man J said to this expert in the law at the end there. J said, "Go and do likewise." Now the whole lesson about the Good Samaritan is to reveal a portion of what it means to love your neighbor as yourself. But I wanted to focus on this "go and do" bit.
I don't know if you noticed but, J taught MAD lessons, heh heh ;) But he didn't just drop da knowledge, homeboy urged peeps to go and apply that knowledge! He didn't want these peeps to just sit and soak in the lap of truth. Naw potnas! If we merely sit and eat and eat, we'll become so gluttonously fat on this succulent truth that the stuff will be oozing from our pores.... naaaaaaaaasty. A sad and sorry sight if you ask me. No no no NO! He wants us to act on this truth! He wants us to go and do, that is to eat and to work out. Put all that truth to work in a powerful and productive way in your life and in the lives of those around you. For what purpose is it to simply amass truth and never utilize it, other than to waste the precious few moments of ones existence?
Potnas, when we learn truth, especially the oh so powerful truths from Pops above, let us not only make it a part of us, but let us also transform that truth into action. For it is through action that commitments are made true change takes hold.
