I've relized that people don't always treat others right. Hell, I don't even treat people right all the time. But I never go out of my way to make someone feel like crap or make someone feel unwelcome. As a Christian I love because Christ loved me. No matter what. I do my best to not let my emotions get the best of me. I don't always succeed, but I try. And without God I wouldn't even try.
Tonight the campus ministry I am a part of was doing an out reach. One of my friends was giving me a cold attitude. In fact I noticed this person has been giving me cold attitude since I dropped some stuff of to them and there roommates. That was the first time I saw them this semester. I'm not perfect. If I did something to offend someone and I don't know it, come to me and let me know and I will apologize. I never have any malicious intent with anything I said to this person. And all I've been met with is dirty looks and a cold attitude.
Breaking my arm was the best thing that ever happened to me. Why? Because it made me realize how selfish I am. Pride this time led to a literal fall and brokenness. God wants our hearts humble. It's about Him not us. And I am the first to admit that I need to be reminded of that daily. The gospel is not just for the non believer but for Christians as well. We need To preach the gospel to our selves every day.
I wish people would be more consistent. I wish I would be more consistent. And when someone is all smiles with everyone else and then they get all glaring at me, I feel unwelcome. It's not about us it's about Christ. And us Christians being hypocritical. This is my apology on behalf of Christians to anyone who has been hurt by hypocritical Christian. You're either Christian or not. You can't be kinda Christian.

This is a great blog. Very honest and pure. Christian or non Christian everyone can relate to this blog. It use to drive me crazy in the past when a friend would give me the cold shoulder out of the blue. I would go over ever little thing that I had said or did with that person to figure out what I did or had said that justified their behavior toward me. In the end, I never found the answer. Now, if I feel that a friend is giving me the cold shoulder I'll approach them in love and ask him or her whats going on. And if they deny giving me the cold shoulder well it's ok. No hard feeling. I'll just leave him or her alone, while I go with God. At my age, I have no time to play mind games.
