Grace for Those that Appear to Hate Me
So, I am a little amazed that this blog still exists. I mean come on Word Press, can you not purge some inactive stuff?
Anywho, I have been thinking a lot about grace and patience for those that do nothing but hate and insult. This comes up from a player I umpire for on occasion. For some reason this guy has chosen to hate me, and he lets it show with his behavior. I think a lot of it comes from the fact that I call a tight game and call him on his antics, but he really just chooses to act like a child even to the detriment of his own team. On the way home from the game last night it got me thinking…I have no idea what past pain and brokenness he brings to that field. All I can do is embrace the love and peace that has been given to me through Christ, and then I can hope to pass it on. Of course, I need to recognize that I am broken too, and I am in just as much need as love and grace as he is.
But dang he can make it be such a pain some times.
