Day 09: Degrading Women

Posted by: Rachel Heckle (rising Freshman at BHS)
Todays devo was about a girl who really liked a guy but he kept saying crude coments to her. When she asked him to stop he dosen't take her seriously and tells her he is kidding. 

This devotional got me thinking that if I want to be a true follower of Christ then I need to surround myself with people who have the same values that I do. As we talked about some in Sunday School, being a true follower of Christ can be scary. Linda is very scared that if she keeps telling Todd to stop treating her badly that he will never like her, or go out with her. 

This is when Linda should think about what Jesus would do. Obviously Todd thinks that treating women badly isn't wrong, and that its even funny. When situations like this happen you need to step out of your comfort zone and realize that if anyone is treating you badly, they aren't worth your time. Would you really want to date a guy that has no respect for you? 

I know that sometimes I mess up and don't surround myself with people who love God and are followers of Christ, but this devo gets me thinking about how some of my friends act, and maybe I should be a true follower of Christ and break down the walls and find friends, and boyfriends with my same values.
