WWJD
What Would JESUS Do ?
Back in the 80's and 90's their was a saying going around that was started by a minister in a small church when he challenged his congregation to follow his lead for the next 30 days that whenever they were faced with a dilemma that they should ask themselves "what would Jesus do ?" and take the answer as the way they should handle the problem.
I was a truck driver at that time, like I've been for 50 plus years, and my wife bought me a leather bracelet to wear with those letters on it to remind me and I must say it proved impossible for me, just like the people in the ministers parish, to follow for more than a few days. Even though at that time the environment was a lot less hostile than now.
I look back on my 76 year life and wonder what happened to the easy going world I grew up in and I realize that things started to change about the time they removed prayer from school. Then they started taking GOD out of everything, but leaving other religions alone, even atheism. I started seeing that people seemed to be more angry and ready to clash with anyone who didn't see things their way.
It may just be me but I feel that without GOD's presence in your life you don't have that buffer that lets you see the other persons view and except it not as an affront but for what it is, just their perspective. We all see the same thing differently through the filter of our life's experiences and we need to allow for the other persons view and not take it personally.
In closing I would say, Try WWJD for just 7 days, I dare you. If you don't know JESUS, now might be a good time to find out what your missing. Just say'in, Dutch
