If they have been going to your church and have never changed, but go to another church and start changing for the better – stop trying to get them to come back to yours – yours isn’t working for them.
Maybe you should start going where they are going and experience what they are experiencing – because clearly it IS working at that church. Some people go to church and are so mean / evil that people who know them don’t want to ever go to the same church as them!!! I don’t blame them; I wouldn’t want to go either. The Truth changes you for the better – if that isn’t happening – you aren’t receiving Truth.

Today I was listening to someone tell a story of where they came from; they said they were so depressed that they wanted to die – so they lay down in the middle of the street to be sad with themselves while at the same time cars barely missing them and honking as they drove by.
I realized that they could have caused an innocent person to run them over and kill them and end up being in jail for something they couldn’t avoid and didn’t try to do – but the selfishness of a depressed mind caused a situation to put an innocent person away. How many people are in prison because of the actions of someone else who were selfish and didn’t consider that their actions might hurt others or get innocent people in trouble?

And satan will have you stinking in your thinking and God's Holy Spirit will have you blessing and loving and helping others.
Example: your at work. You don’t know anything about what is going on in the minds of your coworkers. You acknowledge a co-worker and they don’t respond at all. Totally ignoring you! Now satan works in the mind. and he gets to work and you start having thoughts about ‘how rude they are’, ‘how they don’t like you’, ‘how nobody likes you’, ‘who do they think they are!’, ‘I will show them and get them back’, etc… Break! Pause! They were actually caught up trying to remember whether or not they had put their child’s lunch in the backpack before dropping them off at school and didn’t even hear you. Not rude, only distracted. But you now think you have an enemy and are trying to get back at them or be rude to them – and they didn’t even do anything!!! Or maybe they were walking in the door and couldn’t hear you because the noise outside was louder than your voice, Or they were struggling to ‘keep it together’ and battling in their mind about a fight they had with their spouse that morning and were lost in their own thoughts. Or maybe they were busy thinking about a project they had to complete that morning on a pressing deadline! NOTICE: None of that was about you! They were NOT doing anything to you. They were caught up in themselves and their own struggles. Now God’s Spirit also works in the mind and will have you give mercy, realizing possible things that could be happening and instead reach out to them later – connecting with them, listening, offering to help out, and making sure that they are okay and giving them an encouraging word (because you never know what people are going thru, even though they are smiling)! Connection. Warmth. Kindness. Positivity. Understanding. When you are going thru tough days, this is how you want others to treat you and this is how God wants you to behave around others. ‘For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again’ - Matthew 7 verse 2 With Love Sugar Miss J SpeakToMissJ.com ThingsYouWantedToSay.com Kindly SUBSCRIBE, Like, Follow, Tweet, etc... |
