Confused Christian?
Today as I was driving to work, I saw a car sticker which says "God please give me strength to deal with all the IDIOTS who cross my path." and Idiots was in bold. And guess what. On the other side of the car, this guy has another sticker which reads "Jesus loves you". Yeah Jesus loves you but I think you are an idiot! No wonder non-Christians think that Christians are a confused bunch. A lot of people think that Christians are hypocrites and you wonder why.
Are we showing love to the non-christians or even Christians because it is our "Christian duty" to or are we genuinely concern for them. Sometimes, we are so focus in winning souls for Jesus that we do everything in our capacity to be nice to the non-Christians but once they have become Christians, we will leave them be. Or we look to them in pride that this person is my "fruit". Or we treat different people differently cause lets face it, some are more lovable than others.
God sent His son for all. Even those whom He know will reject Him. He loves them all the same. Jesus knowing that not all will follow Him yet He spent precious time with them. People who seems to be the "rejects" of society. The tax collectors and the prostitutes. This is genuine love. Loving people without any motive or expecting something in return.
In our journey in life, examine the things that we do. Are our actions contradicting to each other? As Christmas is just around the corner, Remember that Jesus came for everyone.
