19 - Katana391012 - WHAT LOVING PEOPLE IS
I’ve been raised in church my entire life, and I’ve never known a life without him.
Growing up in church I was always learning about what was right, and what was wrong. I never knew what it was like to do something horribly wrong because I was never aloud too. And I was constantly told right from wrong. I never knew what it was like to feel tremendous guilt over something that I did. Of course I felt guilt for my sins, but I never felt a huge wave of guilt always weighing on me. Because I never did anything really bad.
I didn’t understand why people did some of the things they did. Why people where lgbt, why people did drugs,...ect. I often felt very mad about these things. I was also mad at the people who committed these sins. Why did they do these bad things? Why did not change their ways?
I regret this, but sometimes when my anger came out I would get in a argument with these people. I just didn’t understand why they where the way that they where.
But when I started growing with God I realized something. Me fighting and arguing with theses people isn’t going to make them change. That isn’t going to make them feel like their loved, and why would they wanna be a Christian if a Christian got mad and argued with them? I realized I wasn’t showing God’s love.
Instead I started praying and talking things out with these people. We have to realize that some people weren’t raised in a Godley environment. Some people grow up seeing people/their family smoke, do drugs,...ect. They don’t know any different. I’m not making a excuse for people though, some people do these things even though they know they’re wrong. But arguing with them isn’t going to make things better.
We must feel real people love. Not I like people, or I like crouds.
I mean soul love. Like hoping that person can turn from their ways, and you’ll see then in heaven. Like feeling compassion for them that they live the way they do. We can’t feel hard towards people when they do wrong. We must feel bad for them, because they need help. They need God’s help.
What would you do without God? I’d probably already be dead if Im being honest.
God bless you, and if you have any questions I’m here for you.
