We are called to be light and salt. Ambassadors of love. And some of us really try. But we just are short some days.
Some of us discount people...there's always more to a person than what meets the eye. Look again.
Some shoot their wounded instead of binding their wounds. Or casting them off- afraid of getting dirty. In the name of Jesus... Not really understanding that one.
My family has entered a new season. It's different from any other season we've been in, and we've had to take a lot of hits to the heart.
The pain and hurt from some has been countered with love and compassion from others.
But we have not kept pushing forward without being pressed on every side.
We have had to set our gaze and determine in our hearts that Jesus is better- better than any persons approval. Better than a microphone or recognition.
Better than being seen by man.
This is not easy or simple. It's a daily choice. To be content in the season.
Knowing Jesus and letting everything that prevents us from seeing Him be burnt away.
Christians are gonna miss it sometimes- myself included. And when that happens, let's not pretend we didn't. Fake it. Be self righteous and make excuses.
And if you've been hurt by Christians- I'm sorry. I'm sorry and I pray you'll remember we are just humans and most of us are really trying. The enemy gets the best of all of us some days.
Please don't give up on God and his plans for you.
Let's forgive and get it right the next time. Grow in love and grace.
Let's learn to love. He's watching ❤️
