After Careful Review

I had today's post all ready to go. It was an anti-love letter to someone who I feel is not performing as they should. But after careful review, I have decided that it is not only inappropriate but not very Christian. The latter weighed heavily on my heart as I read what I had written.

I was not mean or nasty in what I wrote. I did not use names or titles but alluded to what the person did by what was not being done. I started thinking about the latest group of sermons from church on the Sermon on the Mount. Our minister has reviewed what Christ's vision was for being a Christian. It is not an easy path to take and there is so much to work on that it is almost impossible to keep the proper scope.

So many of the things we do in life are about other people and the way we respond is a good representation of where we are on our journey with Christ. By making a point of someone's shortcomings and broadcasting it was not something that Jesus would have done. His methods were more direct and personal. So, the adage of think before you speak comes to the forefront. My minister would be very happy that I actually managed to retain one of his lessons.
