Love Everybody, Always<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you get to heaven, rumor has it you\u2019ll have a conversation with Jesus. Through this conversation, you\u2019ll hear about the things you didn\u2019t understand while you were alive. You\u2019ll learn about the many ways Jesus came into your life, and your entire perspective of how you\u2019ve lived will change. The most surprising thing you\u2019ll learn is the many forms Jesus took and how many times you actually met Him.<\/strong> That’s why you should love everybody always, according to Bob Goff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In anticipation of this conversation, you likely have a list of accomplishments you want to tout. You\u2019ll talk about all of the good things you did for certain people, and you\u2019ll hope it was enough. But what you\u2019ll find out is that all people are Jesus. Everyone you meet is Jesus, so if you truly want to love Jesus, you must love everyone like you would Him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there is more to it than that. Loving easy people is easy. Jesus intentionally puts people in the world that challenge your beliefs<\/a> or safety or time. How you treat those people is the real measure of how well you love God. The people who are needy, poor, in jail, living less than moral lives, holding differing opinions, and living different lives are the ones through which you are meant to prove your faith in God\u2019s love.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Treat Everyone as if They Were Jesus<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are two types of people<\/a>: the ones who will learn that the people they loved were Jesus and those who will realize the people they chose not<\/em> to love were Jesus. You, like everyone, likely fall into the second category most of the time. And your intention was likely not to be mean or spiteful. If you\u2019d known it was Jesus, you would have dropped everything to help. But you didn\u2019t, and you let other things, like fear or your busy life<\/a>, get in the way of showing love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Treating everyone as though they are Jesus is God\u2019s plan for you. If you truly want to go deep in your faith and be with Jesus, you must treat everyone like they\u2019re Jesus. It\u2019s not easy, but when you become love, it gets a lot easier. You need to realize that when you give love away to everyone, you are acting in accordance with who God made you to be. You are doing it for God, not for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t need to wait for a plan or a sign for who to help and how to do it. Love is the plan.<\/strong> Find people who need help. Seek out people on the fringe and give whatever love you can. Visit people in jail or hand out water to people who are thirsty. God\u2019s plan is simple. Don\u2019t complicate it with fears or confusion. Set the intention to love everybody, and you will be fulfilling your true purpose in life<\/a>. Your conversation with Jesus will be one you can be proud of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fill Your Bucket With Love<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a children\u2019s book that centers around the concept that your life is a bucket, and you become whatever you put in the bucket. You may be thinking about what you want to put in your bucket so you can become that thing. But stop for a moment and ask yourself, \u201cWhat could I fill my bucket with to make life good for the people around me?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Becoming love means making God\u2019s world a place where everyone can experience His love, not just you.<\/strong> You can fill your bucket up with parties and become popular. You can fill your bucket up with complaints and become an unhappy person. Or you can fill your bucket up with love and become God. Which bucket do you think serves more than just you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask the people you love how your life is working for them. If they\u2019re honest, you\u2019ll understand what you need to put in your bucket to become love for them. Bob asked his family how his life worked for them and got a surprising answer. He\u2019d always been impatient, but he never felt bothered by it. But his family did, so he decided to fill his bucket with patience. To hammer the matter home, he carried a bucket with him as a reminder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bob Goff’s Example<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One day, Bob Goff was leaving a sermon he\u2019d just given at a church in Texas and was rushing to make it home in time for the Super Bowl. He drove to the rental car return and became stuck in a slow-moving line. He didn\u2019t understand what was taking so long until he looked out the window. He saw the attendant working at a turtle\u2019s pace. Twenty-five minutes and a missed flight later, he was ready to burst. Then, he noticed his bucket on the passenger seat. He decided to fill it with patience, and when he finally reached the front, instead of unloading a storm of annoyance on the worker, he complimented him and wished him well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later, the same worker caught up to Bob and told him what a great sermon he\u2019d given earlier that day. The man had been in the audience of one of several sermons Bob gave at the church. If Bob had acted the way he initially wanted to, the wise and benevolent man this worker had seen spreading God\u2019s love would have fizzled. Bob may have released his frustration if he\u2019d yelled at the man, but that conversation would not have worked for the man. It likely would have damaged him and made him lose faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can pretend to be a wonderful person in front of an audience and tell yourself how much you love God and how deep your faith is. But if you step down from that pedestal and treat the people you believe don\u2019t matter without grace, you know your faith is not where it needs to be. You\u2019re not there yet with God. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How you treat the people around you says a lot about who you are<\/a>. You need to act in a way that works for others, and in doing so, you will ensure that your actions always work for you, too. <\/strong>The more love you give, the more you become love. How you deal with negativity and strife will dictate whether you stay stuck in one place or grow into your true self<\/a>. God is not grading your performance or demanding perfection. He just wants you to fill your bucket with love so others will recognize Him when they see you. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
