Compromise

There are just some people you don't get along with right? With all the conflicting personalities and interests, there is no way that I can get along with that person. Roommates begin as friends will end up hating each other; friends, who you thought you were cool with, begin to talk behind your back. There is a countless number possibilities of what one person can do to hurt another. I've been hearing so many roommate stories that its starting to get old. It is not that I don't care about the lack of compromise, but because I am sad that there is a lack of consideration and realization of Luke 10:27.

"He answered: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"

I am a hypocrite for writing this blog because I have [a] unsettled relationship[s]. Luke points it out very clearly to love the Lord AND your neighbor. Not one or the other; I believe that God would want his followers to obey His commands to love others as yourself rather than to hate others and just love Him only. I love God and this is why I will always attempt to love other people regardless of the situation. The basis of my love for you is because of who you are. The continuance and forgiveness of my love for you is because God tells me to never stop loving you when things go wrong. To forgive, let go, and to continue on encouraging one another in light of His's promises.

I believe that there is no such thing as no compromise. Although this is easier said than done, let God's will be done in that His love, in us and through us, shall endure forever.

Amen.
