Looking On The Inside

Over the past several weeks maybe even months I have been battling with people. People who have hurt me and offended me and then I've also been dealing with people who have been hurt by people. I continue to encounter those who are just tired of dealing with the church folks who call themselves Christians. To be completely honest I've been tired of dealing with some church people too. It's true there are people, a lot of people in church that are there for the wrong reason. They come for self gain and gratification and make themselves above everyone else. They do all their works to be seen by men but condemn everyone else for doing the same thing (Matthew 23:5). These people are wrong and they could very well distract us from our right relationship with God if we let them. But remember that Jesus said in Luke 5:31 "They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick." The church isn't heaven it's a hospital where the sick come to be healed. When we take our eyes off God and place them on man we will surely be disappointed and let down. Some of us need to stop looking out the widow of our heart and begin looking in. Also if everyone else always seems to be in the wrong then it's probably you that's Got the Problem. If all you can see is the flaw's and the weaknesses of everyone else then you yourself should humbly bow right now and ask God to help you to be as merciful to others as God has been toward you. Forgive and it shall be forgiven (Luke 6:37). Let's get back on the right track, quit fighting each other and start fighting the devil who is the underlying problem in the first place. God Bless!!!
