0:41 Speaker 1: Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta.

0:46 Speaker 2: Hello everyone, Welcome to this session of the Fuel for

0:48 Speaker 2: the Soul with John gift of podcast. I'm going to

0:50 Speaker 2: talk to you today as we are doing the series.

0:53 Speaker 2: Today's part ten of the series on how you can

0:55 Speaker 2: practically Walk in Love. Really challenge you to check out

0:58 Speaker 2: other segments in the city because I believe that there's

1:01 Speaker 2: so much truth to look at. And today I'm going

1:04 Speaker 2: to talk about another aspect that we look at from

1:07 Speaker 2: a different perspective. We look at a aspect that is

1:10 Speaker 2: found in John chapter thirteen, when Jesus washes the feet

1:13 Speaker 2: of his disciples. Now, a lot of times when we

1:16 Speaker 2: talk about this passage, we talk about it from the

1:18 Speaker 2: sense of, see, Jesus was humble, Jesus was you know,

1:22 Speaker 2: in a place of serving servant toward or eid in mind,

1:27 Speaker 2: touching the feet of the disciples, and you know, he

1:30 Speaker 2: stooped down and all of these things. There's so much

1:33 Speaker 2: truth over there, and we have a lot to unpack

1:35 Speaker 2: from this. But in the line or the light of

1:38 Speaker 2: what we are talking about with regard to walking in

1:42 Speaker 2: unconditional love, walking in that love. And I was really

1:45 Speaker 2: intrigued when I saw about this revelation. That really caught

1:49 Speaker 2: my attention was See, I'll be honest with you, right, Like,

1:54 Speaker 2: I'm on media, so I'm really obsessed about flawless skin.

1:59 Speaker 2: I I do a lot of photo shoots, video shoots,

2:02 Speaker 2: and make sure that especially if you check out my

2:05 Speaker 2: part my videos on YouTube or Instagram, I try to

2:09 Speaker 2: do these high quality stuff because I want to. And

2:12 Speaker 2: I also take care of my you know, my physic

2:15 Speaker 2: and I make sure that to the best of my ability.

2:17 Speaker 2: You know, like this this flawless skin or whatever, you know,

2:21 Speaker 2: like it should look really good. It looks polished, it

2:24 Speaker 2: looks attractive. This is something that I really admire in

2:28 Speaker 2: other people. And I also love to make sure that

2:30 Speaker 2: I'm to the best of my ability. Following all of that,

2:34 Speaker 2: but here's the thing I wanted to understand when I

2:35 Speaker 2: looked at it in that angle. Great. Sometimes, you know,

2:40 Speaker 2: even my feet Sometimes I'll be like, you know what,

2:44 Speaker 2: how can I make my feet look more attractive on

2:46 Speaker 2: this camera angle or in this video, even if I'm

2:49 Speaker 2: wearing a sneaker or a shoe, or if I'm bearing

2:52 Speaker 2: maybe floaters or sandals, or if I'm barefoot. You know,

2:56 Speaker 2: I want to make sure that, you know, my feet

2:58 Speaker 2: look good, you know what I mean. And I was

3:01 Speaker 2: thinking that Jesus washing the feet of the disciples. Now,

3:04 Speaker 2: the disciples were of different kinds right somewhere really rich,

3:09 Speaker 2: like you know, Matthew the tax collector, somewhere like Judas

3:12 Speaker 2: who were already rich by cheating. Uh. There was also

3:17 Speaker 2: uh uh you know these fishermen, uh, you know the

3:22 Speaker 2: ones in you know, like the local low low uh.

3:26 Speaker 2: You know, positions of life, for statuses of life. And

3:30 Speaker 2: we look at all of these people. They were in

3:31 Speaker 2: different groups and categories or status. Go right now, just

3:37 Speaker 2: imagine the feet of these men, like first starters, like

3:40 Speaker 2: some of them, maybe they kept their feet you know,

3:44 Speaker 2: clean and healthy. Uh maybe for some of them it

3:47 Speaker 2: would have been messy, fungus in it or smelly, sweaty.

3:53 Speaker 2: I mean just imagine like rugged, like for like I mean,

3:57 Speaker 2: if you ask me, like if I were to maybe

3:59 Speaker 2: you know, Jesus touch the feet of someone you know,

4:04 Speaker 2: like over kept their feet clean and you know, beautiful, attractive,

4:09 Speaker 2: I mean I wouldn't mind, right, But think about this,

4:12 Speaker 2: A love that goes to a place which in which

4:15 Speaker 2: you can't predict, Like maybe if somebody's feet is attractive, great,

4:19 Speaker 2: but somebody else is maybe smelling somebody else's maybe so

4:23 Speaker 2: rugged and rough. Somebody else's may look very unimpressive. But

4:28 Speaker 2: I want you to understand that is a kind of

4:31 Speaker 2: love that doesn't filter people. That love that just stays pure,

4:38 Speaker 2: A love that goes beyond what you can see on

4:41 Speaker 2: the outside, A llaw that says, you know what, even

4:46 Speaker 2: if this looks messy a minute, because you know what,

4:50 Speaker 2: I walk by law. I was dead in sin, but

4:55 Speaker 2: Christ died for me. How much more should I be

4:58 Speaker 2: in a place where if somebody is feet is dead

5:00 Speaker 2: in stinkiness? Or it's smelly, messy? How much more should

5:09 Speaker 2: I be willing to get into the crux of people

5:11 Speaker 2: like because we love to associate with people or help

5:14 Speaker 2: people as long as they're in an okay position. But

5:17 Speaker 2: what if they're in a messy situation? What if they're

5:21 Speaker 2: in a smelly season of their life? Would you just

5:26 Speaker 2: write them off? Would you just say, hey, you know

5:29 Speaker 2: what your feet, I'm sorry, I'm not going to clean this.

5:34 Speaker 2: Would you do that? Or would you be like Jesus?

5:38 Speaker 2: Because I remember there was I think I've shared this

5:41 Speaker 2: many times, but even last year, I had, you know,

5:45 Speaker 2: a lot of series of attacks over my life. And

5:49 Speaker 2: one of the things is I still remember when I

5:51 Speaker 2: went through when things were fine, there were people who said,

5:56 Speaker 2: you know, I'm going to be there for you, We're

5:58 Speaker 2: there for your, rooting for you, all of these and

6:01 Speaker 2: anytime you're in trouble, be able there for you. But

6:04 Speaker 2: when I was actually in trouble, when things were smelly,

6:07 Speaker 2: things didn't look good, all these people just oh sorry,

6:12 Speaker 2: not now smelly feet and distance themselves. That's not unconditional low,

6:21 Speaker 2: that's not allow that God is called a still live.

6:23 Speaker 2: Why today my challenge to each one of you under

6:26 Speaker 2: the sound of my voices? Will you go without filters?

6:31 Speaker 2: Will you love people without filters? Will you love people

6:36 Speaker 2: even if it doesn't make any sense, even if it

6:40 Speaker 2: doesn't look good, even if it smells bad. Will you

6:43 Speaker 2: still choose to be by their side? I challenge you

6:49 Speaker 2: to do that. Amen, God bless you.
