Darts

This is one thing that I got from my friend, and I think it is so true. Read it, and then I will comment at the bottom.

"One particular day, Sally walked into the seminary and knew they were in for a fun day. On the wall was a big target and on a nearby table were many darts. Dr. Smith told the students to draw a picture of someone that they disliked or someone who had made them angry , and he would allow them to throw darts at the person's picture. Sally's friend drew a picture of who had stolen her boyfriend . Another friend drew a picture of his little brother . Sally drew a picture of a former friend, putting a great deal of detail into her drawing, even drawing pimples on the face. Sally was pleased with the overall effect she had achieved. The class lined up and began throwing darts. Some of the students threw their darts with such force that their targets were ripping apart . Sally looked forward to her turn, and was filled with disappointment when Dr. Smith , because of time limits, asked the students to return to their seats. As Sally sat thinking about how angry she was because she didn't have a chance to throw any darts at her target. Dr. Smith began removing the target from the wall. Underneath the target was a picture of Jesus . A hush fell over the room as each student viewed the mangled picture of Jesus; holes and jagged marks covered His face and His eyes were pierced. Dr. Smith said only these words... " In as much as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me ." Matthew 25:40. No other words were necessary; the tears filled eyes of the students focused only on the picture of Christ."

Have you ever put someone down? Or torn someone up? Cause you didn't like them? Or cause you were mad at them? Have you ever hurt you bro or sis, cause you were mad at them? If you are a person, aka a human, you most likely have. But, do you know who you are really hurting when you hurt the person?

Yeah, you think, I do, who? Well, of course you hurt the person, but that is not the only person, you also hurt God. Why you may ask? Because, well lets make another senerio. Have you ever put somone down? Or said mean things to them, or about them? Do you know who created them? God did, and he created them in his own image, so if you make fun of them, you are also making fun of God, in a sense. Because God created them in his own image, and he made them the way he wanted them to be, so why make fun of someone? Would you want them to do the same to you?

And remeber next time you want to make fun of someone that you are accually makeing fun of their Creator too. He loves you, and he loves them too, and he make them with a perfect plan, and same with you. So, next time you want to hold a grudge against someone, think about what God would do, and who all you are hurting. And think twice.


Genisis 1:27
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
