A girl who was shoved away



I saw this happening near my house a few years ago. A boy and a girl were walking but their distance started to get a long lead and the boy shoved her away. He walked toward her so I took his arm and said, “Is it a good thing or a bad thing to push her? Be kind to a girl.” I asked him why he shoved her away. He started to cry and said, “Because she doesn’t go home with me.” Although he likes her so much and he wants to go home together, it’s impossible for her to like him with this attitude.

Is it because they are immature? We, adults, say “the greatest hate springs from the greatest love.” Doesn’t the same thing happen within a relationship in a church?

The Bible says we battle and quarrel if we can’t get what we want. (If it keeps reaching new heights, it becomes a murder.) The Bible tells us the cause of rage and the origin is our sin. If this boy really wants to go home with her, it is clear that the best way is to be kind to her and tell her honestly how he thinks. God the Father renews us to act in the Spirit and ask Him the best not to live by our flesh, our character which inherited from Adam.

James 4:1~2
