2 Corinthians 6, 365 DAYS OF LOVE #121: SERENADING STRANGERS

PASSAGE: Paul's Hardships, Do Not Be Yoked With Unbelievers

MEMORY VERSE: "So from now on, we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer." 2 Corinthians 5:16

NOTES:(v.1) "We put no stumbling block in anyone's path, so that our ministry will not be discredited."
(v.14) "Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?...For we are the temple of the living God."
(v.17) "Therefore come out from them and be separate," says the lord. "Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters," says the Lord Almighty

ACT OF LOVE: Today's act of love was based off of THIS.
My friends Matt and Patricia agreed to come to the beach with me after church today to serenade random people we saw. He brought his guitar and I brought my uke, and we sang selections from David Choi/Kina Grannis, Owl City, Colby Caillat, Taylor Swift, and Bruno Mars. We basically just went up to people and asked if we could sing to them. The responses varied from someone offering us money (that we didn't take) to people completely ignoring us haha. Sadly, we received alot more rejections than we had expected, but it was well worth it! The few people who were receptive to our singing were super friendly, and we even got to strike up a few conversations with them. 
My favorite one was a slightly intimidating, homeless-looking guy who was sitting against a wall. At first, I was sort of intimidated by him so I asked Matt to approach him instead (hehe). When asked if we could sing to him, he barely responded with a nod. As the song progressed, however, he seemed to lighten up a bit, and even smiled/complimented us after the song. It's cool what a simple song + a smile can do!
I think some people thought we wanted their money, and others thought we were raising funds for Haiti cause of Matt's "Reaching out to Haiti" t-shirt, so that's probably why they rejected us. Haha :( It's okay because those discouragements won't get to the CORE of who we are--FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE SONGS/DAUGHTERS OF GOD!
