i would take a bullet for you

It doesn't matter if they call me wrong
Doesn't matter if they steal my song
Doesn't matter if we're all along
It doesn't matter at all

'Cause I would take a bullet for you
I would take a bullet for you
I would cross any line, I'd swim across the sea
I would take a bullet for you
I would take a bullet for you
I would lose it all, I'd take my fall
To show you it's for real

-Mat Kearney, "Bullet"

So, I had a thought tonight when I was listening to this AMAZING song. "Yes! Yes, I will take a bullet for you! This is Jesus love, extreme love. I would take a bullet for anyone - isn't that what Jesus did? It wouldn't matter who you are...even if you're my enemy."

But...I won't load your dinner dishes for you. I won't call you back, or respond to your emails. I won't turn the tv down when you ask. I won't pray for you. I won't help you with school. I won't buy you a Coke. I won't let you merge in front of me, or give you space to change lanes. I won't listen to you when you have a bad day. I won't smile at you when I've having a bad day.

It doesn't make sense, and because I realized that, things make complete sense. Yeah, if I'm going to get prepared to take a bullet for someone or pour my life out for people, I need to start with these things. For sure.
