Day 250 Please Forgive Us

Day 250


You are disgusted, you have had enough. You cannot believe the arrogance of Christians in politics, in science, in daily living, on Face Book, with their Tweets, etc. And you can not keep it to yourself. You should be frustrated! We are a sorry lot, there is hardly anything impressive about us. The only thing impressive is the One we follow. I continually question Jesus's wisdom in allowing us to be ambassadors for Him. We do a pathetic job. He should put us in a holding container until He is convinced we truly understand His love.

We are told that you will know we are christians by our love. How's it working for you?? It's kinda hard to figure out who we are through the facade, the hypocrisy, the struggle, right?

Do you know how hard it is for us Christians to get along? We let so much get in the way. Funny thing is, we know how to exceed the speed limit but refuse to exceed the speed limit in love and love has no limits!

When you write something negative about Christianity for the public to see you are exercising your rights. Many times we, christians, jump right in with our dukes ready for a fight and respond to you in a combative way. But we are not called to argue, plead, beg or burden you. We are called to love. Argghhhh...We are really slow learners. Truly, our fight is with our pride not you. There are a boat load of issues we will never agree on. But for us to fight with you in a public forum, with a lack of respect to you, is just not appropriate.  It reveals our immaturity.

We seem like brats and it is because we are. Jesus' vetting process is non-functional. He loves humanity and opens wide the gates and so you get a boatload of us with a lack of requirements. I think what disgusts you most is our lack of cohesiveness and consistency. Rightly so.

Jesus brings us to Himself because He loves us, period. We are learners in love which in two words can be summed up:repentance and forgiveness. This is an olympic endeavor and you are privy to the mess we make. The one who has the tarnished look because of our mess is the One who is the most loving, the most cohesive, the most consistent, the most forgiving, the most everything. He should not let us be ambassadors but He is not a micromanager!  Forgive us, we have to do better.
