A Lesson I Thought I'd Learned (apparently not)

For a while I've been thinking about truth, and what a Christian is supposed to be like. I started analyzing everything: people's actions, their hearts, and what the Bible said in relation to how they were acting.

This led to a lot of searching and also a lot of frustration. I was angry at the church and for all the falsehood that some people were bringing to it. In my search, I had taken my eyes off of God and forgotten the most important thing:

Love.

I forgot to love people-- those in the church and outside. In my journey for the truth about what a Christian is, I'd forgotten that Jesus already gave me the answer: LOVE!!!!!

(Insert conviction and repentance)

Since then I have been emptied of all the frustration and bitterness against people and have found peace inside the simple truth that is the love of God.

I pray that God would give me a continual understanding of this love and that He would constantly remind me of this truth. I pray this for all of you, as well.

In Him,

Michael
