I am responsible, not just for myself and every action I perform, but also for the attitude I project, what people see of me – moreover what I reflect of Jesus and His character. That is harsh, but it is also the truth.
I may be the only one, but I know dozens of people who know there is no God because of one person who claimed Christianity yet had no love within them.
“Oh, just come to my group – I don’t want you going to hell.”
If that is Christianity – I quit. This is not some over stated claim merely for the sake of making a point. I mean it. At the center of who I am I know beyond question, beyond the things of this world, I want nothing to do with people who are “better” than me. You know why? If these people who are so superior, than they would have bothered to try and get to know me.
If they had bothered to try to get to know me they would have realized that there is something unique and special that God would die for.
If they had bothered to spend the time trying to find out what I believed before telling me I was wrong, perhaps I could have listened.
If they had bothered enough to love me, than perhaps I might find something in what they offer that I want.
But since I have been written off as too stupid, too unimportant, and too wrong, I guess I can’t change. What matters to me more though is that I WOULD TURN INTO THEM.
I want none of that. This “love” you offer is nothing but judgment. This “love” is hypocrisy. So, here is the deal – with the rod that you measure so shall I measure against you. Pound for pound, inch for inch – you offer me no love and I return none.
Jesus offered better than this; it is time that we remembered who Love really is.
