I get frustrated by the attitude of some Christians. Don't get me wrong, i have been this way many times in the past, but I find it frustrating that we let stupid things come between us. We are supposed to be a body unified in Christ, we are supposed to love one another, and we are supposed to be quick to listen and slow to become angry. So why do we get offended when our brothers and sisters in Christ call us out on something? And why do we hold a grudge, for any amount of time, when they say something that may offend us, especially when they didn't mean it to offend us? I know we are human, and not perfect, but really thats no excuse. We need to be more open with each other, more honest, and not so easily angered. Why is it, that once we do get into some type of argument, we are afraid to tell the truth because we are afraid do offend someone further if they take it the wrong way? why do we let things go, just ignore them, because were afraid to bring them up again? why cant we just be honest with one another?
I think if we all as brothers and sisters in Christ were honest with each other, and not offended when someone calls us out on something out of love, that we would be a closer group and would do much better with encouraging each other in our walks with God.
this is all just a bit of rambling right now, I'm just trying to get my thoughts out. I'll probably be editing this later so it makes a bit more sense....
